All these photos are taken with the macro setting using a Sony Ericsson W995 8.1 mpx camera and then scaled using Gimp.

OK, so it's not a brilliant photo, but an interesting mushroom.
This is the rare Asterophora parasitica growing on Russula nigricans. These fungi only appear on the decaying remains of certain russula and lactarius species. It is not known for sure how they survive from year to year...maybe they drift around as spores for a year hoping to land on the right mushroom after 12 months in the air!

Great pictures everyone. What a great thread, just shows how weird and wonderful thes things really are.
That one looks remarkably like this souffle...so it must be edible

Poached Egg Fungus (or Porcelain Fungus.) Edible, but, erm..., definately worth trying at least once...
