Heres a selection of photos taken from this weeks walks.

First up some shots of Amanita muscaria, the first ones i've seen this year too! Striking little fungi i love em

Next up a group of three stinkhorns that my 5year old proudly spotted bless her

'Look Dad Stinkhorn...... whoa there's three!'

Now these i'm unsure about but i think maybe they are bay boletes and false chanterelles. Please could you confirm if you know

The next group i found growing on an old stump, possibly pine as i found some more growing on an old pine log earlier today. I have no idea about the id so any help on this one would be great.

Lastly, this particular mushroom is what gave me the wild fungi bug.
I first noticed them at the beginning of this year. The ground was littered with them, they had dried black and some of them still remain there today. So on my way past earlier i picked one up and took a photo of the place where they grow. Its the space in the middle of the picture in between the two paths.

Im still eagerly awaiting their arrival this year.

I know its a long shot but any possible id's would be a great help.

Thanks for looking in
Trev

Hi Trev,

I think you are right with the Bay Bolete, but I can't help you with the other two. (You might not get too many responses over the weekend, as many of WAB's fungi fanatics are at the Clumber foray weekend).

Regards,
Mike.

Chris

also Paxillus involutus is inedible

and to avoid confusion, by my reference to no4 , i was referring to the 4th set of pictures (the black one)(,the last one)), and not the 4th picture in the post

Thank you for the replies, Russula nigricans it could quite possibly be. It definately looks like one, no idea why i didn't consider it in the first place as the common name should have gave it away

I suppose only time will tell, lets hope for more this year.

Paxillus involutus, why oh why after someone gives you the answer does the page in the book scream ' it's me it's me! '

Thanks again for all your help
Trev
