New to me and I found 2! I love finding successional fungi, fungi growing on fungi. This has to be one of the more unique I've found. I believe these are Asterophora lycoperdoide, or the Powdery Piggyback Mushroom! More ⬇️ #Parasite #FungiFriends #Fungi #Nature #Guttation

Not certain on ID but I think this might be Ciboria batschiana. It was attached to some leaf litter & a lump pf mud. I now suspect inside that mud was an old acorn. #MushroomMonday #FungiFriends

Kerridge Hill truly is a Waxcap wonderland, eight species on display this week. Lovely Glutinous Waxcap Hygrocybe glutinipes, appears dripping Orange or Viscid Lemon Yellow. Classic Blackening Waxcap Hygrocybe conica, Orange, Red Yellow & Black Witch's Hat! #FungiFriends #Fungi #Mycology

Thrilled to catch a Rare glimpse of Mealy Pinkgill Entoloma prunuloides NT Longshaw Estate, close to where I found Big Blue Pinkgill last year. Robust creamy Ochre caps, Ochre flush top of stipe. Good indicator species of high quality waxcap grassland #FungiFriends #Fungi #Mycology

Really hope this gets a chance to be seen more widely, UK and overseas. It's a wonderfully accessible and really important documentary. We just live in that sort a distribution climate in the UK at the moment... Anyway, more details here: www.kingdomfungi.co.uk

#FungiFriday with finds from #Lancashire this week; fly agaric, redhead round lead, a fabulous birch bolete and a couple not ID'd yet! #fungi #mushrooms

Found my first ever Dog Stinkhorn this afternoon. Mutinus caninus. I was so chuffed. #FungiFriends

Amanita rubescens (The Blusher). New Forest 15/10/26 #fungi

Some gorgeous Fly Agaric in Yarner Wood, Devon. #fungi

We hope that some members with an interest in fungi will be at the NNNS foray at Litcham Common on Sunday 25th October led by Geoffrey Kibby, but if you aren't then Norfolk Fungus Study Group member Jonathan Revett is holding a launch party for his new book, British Earthstars on that day...

Very very excited to say that the books I've been working on are ready to pre-order! The second is "Art in the Field:Fungi" & covers drawing techniques & exercises, pencil skills, watercolour tips, & step by step projects for all levels... www.google.com/search?q=978... @dandcbooks.bsky.social

#FungiFriday Found my first Ballerina Waxcap (Porpolomopsis calyptriformis) of the year in North Lancashire.

#FungiFriday Meadow Coral (Clavulinopsis corniculata) found in North Lancashire.

#MushroomMonday A special find. Blushing Waxcap (Neohygrocybe ovina). This large Waxcap's flesh reddens upon handling.

This honey fungus (Armillaria mellea) is everywhere in the New Forest at the moment - but I like the way these photos show the black rhizomorphs (or ‘bootlaces’) used by the fungus to colonise new substrates and transport nutrients. #fungi #NewForest

7/10/26 #Cumbria - Today’s find was one of my highlights of the year so far. The Date Waxcap (Hygrocybe spadicea) is one of the UK’s rarest #chegd fungi and one that is notoriously difficult to nail down. Hopefully will come across some better examples next time…

A little late for #mushroommonday but I’m so excited to see this on a little foray after work! I think it’s the Waxcap Facepainter, Metarhizium marquandii. Growing on the gills of a Snowy Waxcap. #Fungi #fungifriends 🍄 📸

Always like finding Helvella lacunosa - Elfin Saddle, such alien looking things!

Spathulata brevipes, the very rare relative of the more common Cauliflower fungus (Sparassis crispa). Found in Hampshire this week. They were massive (approx 50x40cm) & had the most delicious smell which filled the air. Don’t worry I didn’t eat them! This species has wide, fan-like lobes. #ukfungi

A whole bunch of fungi found in East Yorkshire last week - I even think I know what some of them are called although their beauty and intricacy are beyond naming! #ukfungusday tomorrow 10 October www.ukfungusday.co.uk but the fungi will be around for a while longer!

Dryad's Saddle fungus, Cerioporus squamosus, on a fallen trunk and stump at @cambridgeppf.bsky.social #Wandlebury #Cambridge. #FungiFriday

Disappointed but not surprised that no fungi ( or plants) have made it onto the new banknotes. I felt that Calocybe gambosa was a good patriotic alternative to Winston Churchill. None of the animals chosen live solely in the UK but would be considered European. Perhaps that's a good sign.

First Deathcaps of the season, by the side of the road. Amanita phalloides. #FungiFriends

I like finding fungi in unusual places. Five Ways station in Birmingham often has some interesting species like this Fly Agaric #FungiFriends

Seemingly new to Ireland today - the powdery mildew Arthrocladiella mougeotii on Duke of Argyll's teaplant/Goji berry #FungiFriends #WildPlantDisease

A lot of the Dactylis glomerata in our field is covered in this rust Puccinia striiformoides right now, which forms bright orange uredinia in narrow stripes. I also found a few plants with a coinfection of Puccinia graminis (I think), with larger warm brown uredinia. #FungiFriends #WildPlantDisease

Nothing to see here, just some pretty fungal reproductive vessels from a mycelial network connected to tree roots helping them function whilst locking up soil carbon. Hortiboletus rubellus - Ruby bolete in the park with oak #FungusFriday #FungiFriends #Fungi #Mushrooms #Mycology #Nature #Wildlife

Lots of fungi & eggs of the Dog Stinkhorn (Mutinus caninus) seen at an NSBFG meeting today #Fungi @britmycolsoc.org.uk

I wrote about the negligent release and growing invasive threat of golden oyster mushrooms for @ontarionature.bsky.social’s ON Nature magazine. Link to digital PDF: catalog.ontarionature.org/fall-2026/pa...

Check out our new paper in New Phytologist. Me and Fungal Prof. Lynne Boddy, setting the record straight on heart-rot in living trees...... Its not a disease and what's more, critical for functioning tree and forest ecosystems.

Hygrophoropsis auriantiaca, False Chanterelle found up at the allotment. A strange find as it is nearly always found with conifers. Then I realised it was next to some waney edge conifer boards that I'd used as edging.
