Thanks Chris. I am learning slowly:). Will look at comment on my post – lol! I forgot to look. Must me a memory thing going on. Thank you Roy. When I looked up ‘Jelly Babies’ – Leotia lubrica; I came across a big discussion on black headed Leotia lubrica, arguing over ‘was it caused by an infection’. Wonder if the debate was resolved or are black capped Leotia lubrica, now classed as a sub species. Again trolling through images I looked for Lactarius fluens and quietus, and Lactarius generally and the nearest in looks is the wooly, but the ones here are smooth but cap pattern similar, they also have very white gills.
Thanks Mike. Have downloaded to full research paper, which I will try and find time to read. Re; Andrea’s reply. I guess the occasional hair-ice seen here is Exidiopsis effusa. I have an awful lot of dead wood and fallen trees. “I’ll post an “all clear” when it is sorted. It’s only when sites like that (and indeed this one) encounter problems that you realise how much one takes them for granted – never forget all the work FungiJohn put in while Wild About Britain was crumbling before our eyes.” At least you are all taking notice or any reports or oddities and catch things like this in time. Unlike Stu who kept totally ignoring us with what was going on util it was too late to do anything.
Having been bemoaning the lack of fungi here this lone fungus appeared on the edge of steep slope amid the beech. Never had these growing here before – one Shaggy Ink Cap – 
[attachment=0]Shaggy Ink Cap Coprinus comatus.JPG[/attachment] Coprinus comatusThanks Mel, appreciated. I must say I was flummocked by second, particularly as there were a number of patches like this, could only get near enough to get a couple of photos as the rest were dotted up very steep wet slippery slope which runs down from the line of beech trees. I will presume that they were some sort of fungi totally ‘gone over’. Ok I think the first one is Red Cracked Boletus – Boletus chrysenteron am I right? Still stumped with second though.
Just wondered if this post had been missed?
Two for ID please

Again thank you, amazing. think I will have to borrow on of my daughter’s microscopes, and start looking at the spores of the many fungi growing here at the moment Thanks Chris. They do look a bit like the photo. There were lots of patches of these around the forest floor but I could see no sign of the original tree trunk – no raised ground or even dips where the original tree would have fallen. The domed raised centres within the circles also puzzled me as I would have expected it to be flat and sunken. As I bye the bye the only fungi I found was Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca of which there were lots.
Cheers

OK so took a wander and apart from Boletus calopus and Cantharellus there is an amazing amount of peziza vesiculosa, most I have ever seen here. Usually only see a few ‘clumps’ here and there but this looks like it is trying to form a carpet all over woodland area floor. (You will probably correct me on the name 
[attachment=0]DSCF4494.JPG[/attachment] Thanks for the info Roy. I intend to have a good foray this weekend – if it stops raining. I might find something new here, with the odd weather a number of plants not seen here before have appeared so it might be the same on the fungi front.
