What fungi did you spot today?

Following the theme of wildlife thread…

What mushrooms/fungi did you spot? I had a great day in the woods today for it. Found a decent sized (but sadly demolished) Penny Bun, some Bay Boletes, blushers, brown roll rim and various others. Bay boletes were mostly too small to forage so I’ll pop back in a few days I think.

No idea what this is

If it has pores underneath, either Dryad’s Saddle or Tuberous Polypore.

From the apparent size, probably Dryad’s Saddle.

Thanks for that. It is spectacular in position

Something nasty growing inside my old Arai helmet!

Went for a jaunt in the woods today. Not seeing a huge amount of fungi at the moment, might still be a bit early down here.

Did see this one though, believe it to be Artist's Fungus (Ganoderma applanatum).

That is Ganoderma for sure.

Mushrooms haven’t really happened yet, and I’m about as south as you can get in the UK. Been plugging it down with rain over the last week or so, with a load this evening too. It’s also very mild, so I consider those ideal conditions.

Fungi seem to have their own mysterious agenda and rarely do what I expect. The local deer park here is often home to hundreds of Parasols, I’m finding tons of conkers but not seeing any mushrooms.

Went back to the spot I found the Bay Boletes the other day and harvested some of them. Currently drying out in the oven.

Found some Chicken of the Woods, but it was unfortunately already fairly well chomped on, and at dog-wee height next to the path.

Still cool to see it in these woods.

I was on the Angles Way today and found some too. Luckily it was off the track and high up on a willow.

Oooh, nice find.

Oooh, nice find.

Just deep fried it and it's really good. Great taste and texture, I can see how it came by it's name. Not had it before, so another one ticked off the list.

I like your dog

I like your dog

She likes to keep a close eye on what's happening in the kitchen!

If she’s anything like mine she’ll spit the mushroom and expect something nicer. And has a knack of getting it
