Although rare in the south of the uk I was delighted to find chrysomphalina grossula, green navel, for the second time this year in Bernwood forest. Both times on old ,mossy stumps, probably spruce. #fungifriends #mycology #naturephotography

Supposed to be quite common, but the orange peel fungus, aleuria aurantia has eluded me until today. Oxford park #fungifriends #mycology #mushrooms

Tripe fungus. Veined and rubbery on one side, hairy on the top

Hi Jojo, you seem like a kindred spirit! I have found these beauties a few times around Oxford but you certainly found a gorgeous example. You might like this mini Volvariella hypopithys or pusilla I found this year on grass, only 2/3cm cap!

I found some daisy earth stars last week, geastrum floriforme. It took ages for me to distinguish between them and the barometers, but your picture perfectly shows the rip in the spore sac as opposed to the raised hole in the daisies🧐

I’m now convinced it is floriforme due to the raised hole more evident in one of 5 new ones found today

Chuffed to find this small, unusual earth star in Oxford park. Either geastrum floriforme, daisy earth star, or astraeus hygrometricus ,barometer earth star. Due to differing thickness in the flesh, the rays fold over to protect the spore sac as it dries. #fungifriends #mycology

Blusher then, it should bruise pink where damaged

Lovely! I think that may be a blusher, the flecks on the top aren’t white enough for pantherina. Panthers have a gutter around the top of the volva.
Does the annulus ( ring) have striations ?
