I post too much competition!

[John Fenna]

OK - so I post too much ...yet another multiple of 1000 post s is coming up!:yikes:
Again I am having a little competition to celebrate this event, the prize this time being a PDF version of my book "A Basic Guide to Making your own Budget Bushcrafting Equipment" (the winner will need an e-mail address for me to send it to!)
As this is a PDF I can send it anywhere on the globe!

The question you all need to answer is "What kind of fungus has been most noticably prolific in my little patch of woodland this autumn?"

The woods in question are well drained mixed wodland with everything from Pines to Alder Buckthorn including Birch, Willow, Rowan and Blackthorn.

I will pick the winner out of the crowds on (or just after) my 7000th post!
If no one gets it right then I will accept the second most noticable/memorable fungus to be seen in the wood this year.

Good luck to you all!

[John Fenna]

There are some very good, some very amusing and some downright wird answers here!
I have not noticed any yeasts, though they are prolific no doubt - LBJs do not count - get a good reference book!
I know very little about fungi and have to look all the scientifical names up myself......
