Day 94: Oysterling (Crepidotus)

Koa bought this stick festooned with tiny mushrooms back from his walk yesterday, we went back this morning to look for some more.

On the way out that evening we spotted this full arc rainbow, with faint double  photographed from car park of Edgemoor Inn.  Too nice an opportunity not to take a picture.

Day 88 Green Elf Cup

Without doubt the amazing coloured mushroom I've ever seen.  A short hobble in the woods quite hard work on crutches.

Day 58: Sulphur Tuft

One our commonest mushrooms and found on a drive out late afternoon after work. In the beech wood and growing on a rotten tree stump.  The pictures don't do justice to their colour.

Day 44: Pleated Ink Cap

I guess I've not been looking before - but I've never really noticed fungi in the cemetery.  This little chap was just at the edge of the path.

Never tried any mushroom ID before so I hope this is right.
