i have just found a list i made a couple weeks ago of various fungi that have appeared in my garden over the last few months,quite an interesting collection,

1/ Armillaria mellea - at base of silver birch
2/ Coprinus micaceus - on rockery , growing throgh landscape fabric!
3/ coprinus atramentarius - on remains of old fence post
4/ scleroderma citrina - on soil (due to be buried soon under new paved area

5/ auricularia auricula-judea - on dead branches of a honey locust tree
6/ lepista nuda - in mulch (3 seperate places)
7/ macrolepiota rhacodes - two seperate groups of 12 and 20 under acer & buddleia
8/ five unknown species

i have lived here over twenty years and the only previous fungi were a few small ones in the lawn , none in the neighbours gardens though ?

maybe i'm just lucky

The only fungi I've had in my garden this year are Bolbitius titubans and Agrocybe praecox.

By the way, just for your notes, Macrolepiota rhacodes is now Chlorophyllum rhacodes- just to further confuse things, LOL

its just that i've just got used to spelling Macrolepiota rhacodes and most of my books have it listed as such , i figure that most folks will know what i mean anyway

and i've just got used to Coprinus and they have changed that as well!!!
