1st time here for a good while and plenty of fungi to be seen no great displays of fly agaric as yet but I wouldn't go to all areas as they have cattle and sheep grazing at the moment, I don't mind the sheep 'I'll post a couple of pictures in where have you been walking' but the cattle are real big red buggers Here's a few shrooms, the plumbs and custard was a real good colour really stood out under the trees, any ideas on the bracket? ian plumbs and custard by ian robinson, on Flickr funnel by ian robinson, on Flickr birch bolete by ian robinson, on Flickr by ian robinson, on Flickr parasol by ian robinson, on Flickr by ian robinson, on Flickr

Hi Ian, I had a look in my fungi books and your photo No4 has the wrinkled cap characteristics of a Clitocibe check out the Tawny Funnel - Lepista flaccida, try googling this species, a photo of the gills would have helped and a spore print for the spore colour, Nice photos, well done, Birch Bolete is good to eat too Duncan

Back at Spalford warren yesterday with the daughter must have been a bonding thing the most abundant shrooms this time were the fly agaric hundreds to be seen one very nice and large 10'' easy across the top, a bolete under birch the other two little ones 3'' tall and growing out of a cow pat I've no clue at all 3 and 4 were taken else where and I'm going with blewit ian bolete by ian robinson, on Flickr Untitled by ian robinson, on Flickr blewit by ian robinson, on Flickr blewit by ian robinson, on Flickr

Hi Ian, I concur with the 3rd photo Blewit, possibly the Wood blewit Clitocybe nuda sometimes recorded as Lepista nuda Duncan

Here's a few more from Spalford today only had the phone with me so no the best quality, more of these growing out of cow pats reasonably sure there Egghead mottlegills and a couple of up and under shots fly agaric and not sure on the last one. Also while walking around good numbers of redwing checking out the berry trees ian egghead mottlegill by ian robinson, on Flickr egghead mottlegill by ian robinson, on Flickr fly agaric by ian robinson, on Flickr by ian robinson, on Flickr

Ian, are you sure that this fungi is Fly Agaric - Amanita muscaria? I know that the rain can wash the white spots off the red cap and leave it plain, (the white spots are remnants of the white veil of tissue that at first enclosed the young mushroom ) but the gills don't look right for the species either Duncan

Fly agaric were the most abundant mushrooms around that day I didn't take an overhead shot as I have plenty of other examples so if I've already got them recorded I look for a more dramatic sort of shot 'well that's what I call them ' I'm more in it for the picture than the ID's that's why I seldom pick or slice and dice them ian

I'm woefully weak on fungi identification (so many of them + so variable) but just love your photos.

Thanks aeshna5 I try Here's two more from Spalford a common earthball I've not seen many this year there's usually good numbers and different species about on this site, this ones tiny about an inch across and growing on a log The other two photos I'm pretty sure are Jewelled Amanita 'Amanita Gemmata' I think the fuzzy stuff growing on one of them must be fungi on fungi? I now know that if correct there a rare find in Britain and so feel a slight guilt at pulling one up but there were several around and another group nearby and I'm sure I've seen them before. Apparently they contain the same psychoactive chemicals as fly agaric. So could give your bacon butty a real twist ian common earthball by ian robinson, on Flickr jewelled amanita by ian robinson, on Flickr jewelled amanita by ian robinson, on Flickr
