and laid on a standard sheet of kitchen roll

800 grammes with minimal infest!
Some has been dried some alreay eaten.

I dont know which is the bigger shock, finding a whopper B. edulis or it being free from infestation. either way nice one!

(Only joking of course - NOoooooooo don't give my bunk to someone else - NOooooooo - stoppit - I was only having a larffff - I'll have nightmares)

PS Just fixed up my tripod by sawing central column into a third part and adding the small ball head from Ian's broken benbo - the one that dunked his 20D in the river Hayle Cornwall a couple of three years ago and resulted in his upgrade to 40D - the little divil (wasn't funny at the time - you want to try being on hol with a photographer when their camera has just died! Heh! heh!) Anyway off out now to find some fungi and try my new little combo out

Lovely Mike .... I went to Risley (I was coming back to Sunnyhurst) but ran out of time and had to go closer to home - Risley was empty of fungi except for a few obvious tree growing things plus the White Knight which is full out - but so far in the undergrowth I couldn't get at it without doing a lot of damge - to myself as well as the land!!

Nice images Mike,

For me the find of yesterday occurred whilst doing 60mph in the outside lane of a duel carriage-way. Luckily i was able to pull in further up the road and leg it back down the verge to this 8" beauty growing at the feet of two huge Pinus Sp. Thanks to Wab i knew exactly what it was after following a couple of threads recently, now i need to find a Baker that bakes Saffron buns so i can compare


Phaeolus schweinitzii A first for me

[hamadryad]

Thats a stonking Phaeolus, lot of it around this year.

[Deer Stalker]

A few from the New Forest again.

What I reckon is Hericium coralloides (too small for H. erinaceus)...



....and one going over...


....some Hen of the Woods....





....and Parasitic Bolete.

[yorkshireTrev]

Here's my first contribution to this thread, i believe it to be Hare's Foot (wooly) Inkcap - Coprinus lagopus. A confirmation of this would be great.

Quite a photogenic fungi i think , it definately made my day.




Thanks

FOD, found on a foray today (over 100 species found in total) with North West Fungus Group, is thought to be Deadly Webcap - Cortinarius rubellus.


Microscopy is to be carried out on a specimen to certify the identification, but consensus on site was that this would be a formality.

Mike.
