Fungi?

Hi

At Thursley Common I came across this fungi growing out of water, I know very little about Fungus and believe this to be common but I was surprised to see it growing out of water.

Hi Roy

It's the Bog Beacon - Mitrula paludosa. Quite common in ditches and boggy areas this time of year.

"At Thursley Common I came across this fungi growing out of water"
It's me, the pain in the bum, pointing out that you found these fungi or this fungus.
Sorry !

PS. Does anybody know how to get the water in pics like this to look like water. All mine look as if the fungus is floating on oil. Long exposure & tripod perhaps?

I am no expert photographer, but a polarising filter will cut down on the reflections and perhaps look more lifelike.

Thanks F2BW, I'll see if it's possible.
