Fungi at Ogden
One of my first this season and rather pretty fungi was seen at Ogden on Thursday on grass. My (wild) guess as to species is Coprinus plicatilis. I trust our local experts will correct me.
Alison suggests that this is one of the many Parasola and can only be identified microscopically. As the specimen has gone we can go no further.
Cromwell Bottom 19th December 2013
Hi Alison
This fungi was close to the canal on dead wood. Browner than the picture shows and initially looked like jelly ear. The fungi was hollow when squeezed and bag like. I think it probably is Jelly ear but not seen it hollow like this. Can you confirm or otherwise. I need to set up my camera properly.
Brown Birch Boletes at Cromwell Bottom
Last nights visit by eight members of the “41 Club” and four from the Cromwell Bottom Group was very enjoyable. The evening weather was perfect. Graham, our Chair ably described the site and its ancient and modern history. Many rare and interesting plants were shown as were lots of projects that have been completed or ongoing. Amongst the finds was the fungi shown below.

This Brown Birch Boletes is about 9″ across. It’s the biggest I have seen.
The smaller one below was turned over and the underside shown. The spots look unusual as I cannot find that feature in the book.
