Hi, I photographed these fungi in Hampshire on 21 September and would be grateful for any ID suggestions please? The last two photos are of the same species . . .

hi

it might be worth having a look at: Help us to help you identify fungi

cheers

Thanks Chris - I'll take a look at the link you recommended. "Turkey Tail" must be highly variable as I thought it was this species but I couldn't find any illustrations that matched my specimen.

As Chris hinted, one picture with no additional info is not enough to make a positive ID, but if I saw B while out in the woods and if there were larch in the vicinity, then I'd think, "I'll bet that's going to turn out to be suillus grevillei (larch bolete)."

Hi Jim - Thanks - needless to say it was under Larches! I'm learning the importance of noting the location etc in identifying fungi. Thanks . . . Dave
