| | | Offa's Dyke Fungi
Walking part of Offa's Dyke from Prestatyn to Welshpool.
Have to say fungal activity for the first two days VERY disappointing I think probably because it's so dry. First day only spotted a faller Ganoderma, some shrivelled field mushrooms and some pea-sized puffballs. First two spotted and first one correctly named by scientific name by Andrew 
Lack of fungi compensated by this though Badger in Broad Daylight
Second day not much better - only Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca growing in a wood.
Yesterday, however much better. Lots of larch bolete around, a couple of chanterelles, a fat young birch bolete and this one which I'm not sure of. 
Think it might be Pluteus cervinus, caps were 6-7cm across.

I would have said the same Laura, but as per usual, these have been looked at again by the experts and been split up - so it would be a microscope jobby I'm afraid.

I can't keep up! Thanks Neil.
Day 4 has seen more Pluteus whatever-they're-called-now, some Hypholoma fasciculare and some Macrolepiota (another one that's changed its name. Last day tomorrow but not v high hopes of finding anything as we will be waling along the river and canal.

Laura | If the glaucous tones are not a photographic aberration, then this is more likely to be Pluteus salicinus.

I think I was guilty of trying to keep the 'customer happy' in this case Ken, by agreeing too quickly.

Colour seems similar but I thought they were too big for salicinus.
As predicted nothing but a field mushroom and a some jelly ear yesterday.
The vast majority of the fungi we saw on the walk were on a north facing slope shaded from the sun, I think everywhere else has just been too dry.

Thanks Mal,
Obviously pays to have lots of books if only for a second opinion!
Mind you I'd have to do a lot of saving for those ones.
