This morning we came across these growing in the woods near us- a large row of them, with most still standing (some knocked over, probably by dogs... I took one photo of a broken one to show the gills.)

The cap of the largest was probably about 7 inches across (18cm.)

They were still there today, and I was surprised- with so many dog-walkers around that area, any mushrooms are often trampled.

Fungi in the wood - The honey fungus is having a whale of a time in the lower part of my woodland, which has been flooded for most of the year - looks very pretty though with the autumn colours. Problem with the honey it is spreading outwith this area. OK on the fallen trees, just hope it does not spread to the living ones.
