Also, while I'm here, what is the name of that fungus that looks like bird droppings? Grows in little antlers that begin black and end in white tips. |

Here are some in the Gallery; http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/pi...searchid=74588

Possibly a dapperling (lepiota spp) but I suspect its shaggy parasol, macrolepiota rhacodes, but I'd wait for an expert!
Cheers

Brilliant, thanks. Are they related to shaggy lawyers caps? Because I thought it had a look of one of those but the shape was wrong. |

Neil.
EDIT: The 'shagginess' is purely coincidental.
