Not long got back, had a great time meeting you all and seeing some great fungi  Great to be out with people who know their stuff, me being a bit of a novice!
Look forward to seeing everyone's pix, I'll be offline until monday, so will try and post some of mine then (if there's any good enough!)
Thanks for organising this, Mike, I wasn't too sure about the long drive down but was definitely worth it

I made it home just after 5 - didn't hit any of the traffic I was expecting!
As a group we were small but perfectly formed! 
Just like to echo Jan's thanks to Mike for his hospitality - great bacon butties and hot drinks!
I'll try and get some images posted up later tonight.

I think the jelly type Dave found on the stump may be Ascocoryne cylichnium. Posted in the fungi forum for possible shooting down in flames or confirmation.   |

Certainly looks good Mike, but my Collins says that microscopic spore examination is needed to seperate it from A. sarcoides with certainty.
Here's my first few photos - a bunch of Amanitas... 
The Blusher  
Panthercap  
False deathcap

May I put forward the possibility that the Panther cap could be a grey spotted amanita. I have just been looking at my shot of it and comparing it with Rogers mushrooms.

That's been confirmed in the fungi forum and the interesting one on the stump has been IDed as Tremella foliacea. I've been back over and retrieved the cut lactarius. Sue found a Hedgehog fungus alongside the path below the orchard this morning. |

Yep, I've renamed the images and was just coming over here to give an update but I see you've beaten me to it!
Ken Burgess has kindly explained how to tell them apart in this thread: Second opinion please - panthercap or grey spotted amanita

The lichen that was on the tree could have been Candelariella reflexa.

This is the yellow one I had seen. The one that I went off to photograph after the meeting. Still no ID for it. I looked right the way through Rogers searching for it. 
This one is a little bracket. Still unidentified. Can not find it.  
I think we all took pics of these. Still unidentified. 
Another milk cap I thing this is a rare one too. Is it Lactarius salmonicolor? 
This maybe plums and custard? 
The Orange peel I think we all had a shot of. 
Unidentified Bracket under the trees near Holman Field.  
And last my shot of the Leafy Brain - Tremella foliacea

Hi Dave,
For your first one try the Alder Scalycap - Pholiota alnicola. I still think the third one is Shaggy Scalycap - Philiota squarrosa but I'm not as confident as I was yesterday. 
If you haven't already done so it might be a good idea to start an ID thread in the fungi forum.
