Hello Mike. That’s good to hear that we are all in agreement. Really lovely shaggy Pholiotas, and of course well photographed.

Common as common can be, – but still makes a nice photo!

Regards,

Found last Sunday, but it has taken a few days to get the ID. (For which I’m indebted to BMS’s Peter Smith, who was with us at the time and kindly agreed to do the necessary – He’d not seen this one previously either!).

Regards,

Mike.

[Ganoderma resinaceum]

Stunning photo! Really do like the Mycenas, almost as much as I do the genera within Polyporales.

Shaggy Inkcap (Coprinus comatus) I found several growing under some trees beside my house. These are all the same fungi. OK, cheating slightly The second two images I took yesterday, the day after I took the first image.

Cordyceps militaris – Scarlet Caterpillarclub, found today May Hill, Glos. Specimen in photo is 3.5 cm. Unfortunately I was too clumsy to excavate any remaining larva.

I’ve never seen a branched one before! Looks like three distinct branches, one small.

Awesome find there!

On the focus of non wood-eating fungi, here’s Baeospora myosura munching on what is probably a cone of a Douglas fir.

Plums and custard (Tricholomopsis rutilans) 2 different clumps on 2 dead stumps next to each other in a friend’s garden in West Wales.

Not unusual but I’ve been trying to sort out reducing file size using Picasa so I thought I’d post them

So amazing, so unexpected … Clathrus archeri in a mulched bed at Sherwood Forest Centre Parcs ….. and so stinky!!!

Lovely examples!

Lyophyllum semitale with sweet chestnut and oak, the second collection at this site. This is also the site of another very rare Lyophyllum species, both within feet of each other, and both in the blackening group.
