Thanks Dave.
The Hampshire and IOW Wildlife Trust have published "A Monitoring Survey for the Nail Fungus, Poronia punctata,
in the New Forest". I found it a very useful aid to locating it.

Very nice photo's. I found it for the first time last autumn in Anglesy. I did not realise it was a Pyrenomycete until I cut one in half and saw the perithecia, I has asumed that it was a Discomycete.

Thanks all.
I've just seen Ditiola's images of this including the one that was cut in half to show the perithecia.
