Some ID, please?

[vole-woman]

Sorry to bother, but I don't know the first thing about fungus and don't know where to start looking for IDs. These are all from the woods near Heptonstall, Yorkshire.

Hi,

No.1 - is Crested Coral - Clavulina coralloides.

No.2 - Can't make out much detail, but I'd go for something like one of the Twiglet ( Tubaria ) species.

No.3 & No.4 are both Amethyst Deceiver - Laccaria amethystina.

Regards,
Mike.

Seconded.

[vole-woman]

Many thanks. Are they all common, or is there anything unusual in there?

[NickCantle]

It's what one would perceive as interesting I suppose and may be region specific. Despite them all being relatively common, I think the Clavulina is a lovely find

Yes, when looking at the larger version, and especially at those clustered fruitbodies on the tree trunk, Armillaria looks the obvious contender.

I liked that one, Nick. Actually the whole wood was magical, with beech nuts dropping all around me and the rush of the river at the bottom of the valley.

Thanks again, everyone.
