Interesting fungi I have come across
Fungi I have photographed in recent years. Most of them were found in Ryton Woods in the autumn. I have managed to put names to some of them but a few are only guesses and some are totally beyond me - it takes a real expert to sort some of them out!!
Fly Agaric - just emerged
Fly Agaric - fully grown
possibly a parasol mushroom
partial ring of funnel-caps
Funnel-cap
probably the Pestle-shaped Puffball
The Shaggy Ink-cap
The Shaggy Scale-head
Hoof Fungus, named for its shape, also know as the tinder fungus as it is used for fire lighting.
