Redlead Roundhead, Stropharia aurantiaca: once a rare species, now sometimes all over the woodchip under trees in parks.
Chicken of the Woods Laetiporus sulphureus on Red Oak. It’s very good to eat … if you can reach it!
Hare’s Foot Inkcap, Coprinus lagopusBonnet mushrooms, Mycena sp. Hundreds of these delicate little fungi on the woodchip under almost every tree.
A yellow Brittlegill, Russula cf farinipes
A grey Brittlegill, Russula; maybe R. cyanoxantha or R. brunnoviolacea
Bolete under Caucasian Fir, cf Slippery Jack Suillus luteus
Wrinkled Club, Clavulina rugosa, a bit unusualBrown cap, lilac gills … Wood Blewit, Lepista nuda. Delicious, if you can find them somewhere you’re allowed to pick them!
Young Blewits: now that’s an amazing colour! (absolutely no enhancement of any kind)
Clouded Funnel, Clitocybe nebularis: young specimens with cap still domed (that was confusing!), but top (see next photo) distinctively cloudy. Gills crowded and decurrent, white.
Young Clouded Funnels. Larger specimens develop a flattened or slightly funnel-shaped cap, and the gills become much more obviously decurrent.
The English seem unemotional … except for their passion for nature
