As usual, if I’m not sure I will not name. And mostly, I’m not sure

🔼 Wow, here’s one I can name (but only because I checked with someone). This is the infamous ‘Hen-of-the-woods’. But it’s an aged hen.

🔼 Another I can name. It’s a stinkhorn. A young, newly emerged stinkhorn

🔼🔽 I’ve included these two to show how these fungi are usually found. Not all nice and waving a flag to say ‘Here I am’.

🔼 I’d like to give this a definitive name. I cannot. But everything about it shouts Amanita. Yet which one? It’s stipe (stalk) is too dark to be Fly Agaric, it’s clinging veil too busy to be an orange grisette.

🔽 Almost certainly an Aniseed Funnel. Almost certainly

That’s all for now, folks. I’ve no idea what I might find for you next week. We’ll have to wait and see.
Hope you enjoyed

You’re all being so nice to me today! I do thank you. I just love fungi. I wish I could identify them. I study my field guide but I can never ind the exact same image and so won’t risk it

Does your browser have built in AI? if so you can click on the photo and ask the AI to identify it for you.

I’ve tried Google images. But really, it gives multiple possibilities. Fungi really aren’t easy to identify. Smell. Colour of gills (which I seldom capture). Colour when cut or bruised. Spore print. The initial visual can be the least of it.

I have an amateur expert friend on X. I sometimes ask him. Sometimes, he’s lost for an identity, too
