It took John a really long time to remember what the ID was after you rang him

When I arrived on Friday evening it was to find a very happy Fungi John who had been out scouring the park for porcelain fungus and had come up trumps with a fallen beech that was just bursting with them...



Beautiful!

And so was this one, in spite of it's name...



Here's a quick view of one of the paths that was snatched (still with the 150mm macro) as we returned to the car...



More later...

Just thought I would post this one of a medley of mycologists pondering the genus of a particular find during the foray.



I thought it was obvious but then what do I know

i might have to accuse you of photoshopping that

or was it just an unluckily positioned fly agaric?

Russula vesca

Pluteus umbrosus

Orange Peel Fungus

Mycena inclinata

Mycena arcangeliana

Mycena galericulata

Geastrum striatum

Ganoderma australe

Fomes fomentarius

Hello everyone

Just a quick message to say thank you to everyone that attended and made the event so successful. It was a real pleasure to meet old and new friends.

Also, many thanks to Pauline and Ian who took me back home today so I could have a few hours before I return to Clumber tomorrow for 2 weeks of NT fungi events followed by a week at Longshaw … I may have a break in December.

Pauline has just phoned to say she has returned home safely and I’ve given her the result of the ‘Destroying Angel’ find … Did I not mention this …. Ian, Pauline and I found about 8 of them in a small group today! Quite a different species to my last dubious one Wooo Hooo

I’ll hopefully sort out the species list soon and post some pictures.

Thanks once again

John

PS I'll make this a sticky for a while

[FungiJus]

So you had some success on the Sunday and Monday too? (was rather hoping that you'd draw a blank....).

Not really of course - looking forward to the species list John - including A.virosa!
