Fingers crossed this beauty survives on #HumberheadLevels 🤞
Possibly Morchella elata but would need microscopical 🔬 examination or these days eDNA to be certain 🤔🙃#Mycology #Fungi

Delighted to find this scarce Midnight Disco (Pachyella violaceonigra) fungus growing directly out of the #tufa on the west fen this week! Likely grew from spores drifting over from the other side of the Valley...

W really wish our Elves would clear up after themselves when they've finished drinking the morning dew. We found loads of their Scarlet Elf Cups (Sarcoscypha austriaca) just left on this old log in the fen this morning!

Managed around 50 of these little beauties by rummaging around in carr woodland #HumberheadLevels Most seem attached to willow spp of timber 🍄 Vernacular name, Scarlet Elf Cup quite imaginative #Fungi #Ascomycete #Mycology

Spotted today in a dark and quiet area of Jordans Mine. I wonder what they are? @MsFungi

We found this Poplar Bracket (Oxyporus populinus) a couple of days ago. A new record for the Lye Valley! 😀

A type of coral fungus growing up through frosted leaves under a beech tree in #Fineshade Wood today.
Can anyone help ID to species from this photo please? @Myco_Mania @MsFungi @ukfungusday

Some wonderful species - all it needs is folk prepared to look! Indispensable recyclers #fungi need to be better understood & appreciated🙂
The Geopora arenicola possibly a new record for #HumberheadLevels & Neotiella rutilans, both found on sandy substrate.

Still a few #fungi to be found on @LincsWildlife Epworth Turbary reserve Macrolepiota procera (Parasol), Hypholoma fasciculare (Sulphur Tuft) & Coprinellus micaeus (Glistening Inkcap)🍄 #HumberheadLevels
Isn’t #nature inventive and amazing ❤️
What a fantastic display of Trametes versicolor aka Turkey Tail #FungiFriday #fungi 😍

Lovely weather looking for fungi with John Haughton in #Fineshade today. At least one new record for the wood: Slender Club (slender, yes.. but club??)

Help with ID of this bracket #fungi located on Ash stump would be much appreciated🙂 Underside pores seemed to be weeping amber liquid #Thorne Community Woodland #Doncaster #HumberheadLevels #mycology

Gilled fungi release spores from their gills, & spore colour helps ID to which mycological family a fungus belongs. Whilst I prefer to leave nature where I find it, I could not resist making a Spore Print of the fungus given to me during a recent guided fungi walk @AvonNeedsTrees

Good crop of Helvella crispa on #HumberheadLevels today 🍄 OK you can see how these get their vernacular name of 'saddle' but I love one suggested to me earlier today 'melted candle' & when you look at the one on the right it's a good fit🙃 #Mycology #Fungi
Ms Fungi retweeted
Best I can offer from #HumberheadLevels today is Helvella lacunosa, it seems to be a good year for them on local sandy substrate #Fungi #Mycology

Same 'shroom but what a difference just four hours makes😮 Shaggy Ink-cap or Lawyers Wig or if you prefer, Coprinus comatus 🙂Well into deliquescence 🍄 Ain't nature amazing 🤔👍 #HumberheadLevels #Mycology #Fungi
