Some of the fungi we saw on our walk on 2nd November 2026. Enjoy, all you fungi fiends!
Note: I’ve taken the identities from Google Images. Google isn’t always 100% right, so be aware

🔼 Woodtufts… there are several types, can’t be more specific 🔽 Russula (Google and me agree!)

🔼 Another Woodtuft? Or a Funeral Bell? 🔽 Sometimes the name is obvious: Common Funnel!

🔼 Yellow Staghorn (me & Google agree) 🔽

🔼 Bonnets. But which bonnets, Google doesn’t want to say 🔽 The early stages of brackets. But which brackets? Google agrees with me, either Southern or Artists. It’s great to get this underneath shot!

🔼 I love these. Me & Google we agree these are Burgundydrop Bonnets! 🔽 More Bonnets… probably Common Bonnets

Wow, that’s quite a collection, even though half of them turned out to be bonnets. But bonnets is a big family so… needn’t all be the same
And what might we find for next week? I wonder 🤞🍄🤪
So many kinds! I love the super shiny ones

More bonnets and tufts! As for the clustered bonnets, Google thinks it’s a mycena tintinnabulum…
I’m wondering the same for next week! 🤪

I have my doubts about Google. It told me a fungus I recently found was a summer fruit! No, it was a waxcap.

That can sometimes be confusing… Me too, I have doubts when it comes to fungi.

I certainly wouldn’t trust Google’s word on it. But if Google will put them into the most likely genus, I’ll take that
