Happy New Year to all & more rain in 2004! I've just uploaded a group of pics: specs found in grassland, 1-3cm cap: spores orange- brown, regular ellipsoid,...
... Dear Hilary, Your little orange fungus is most likely a species of Conocybe owing to the orange/rust gills and deep striation of the cap. Needs further...

Gina's lilac thing looks v.like L.nuda rather than L.sordida to me - thick and unstriate margin. Hilary's rusty thing - might this look not unlike a Twiglet...

Hi there Keir, thanks for your identification for my lilac thing. I wasn't sure about which Lepista it was so put it into the photo page for help. It arrived...
Happy new year to all. Keir, Your ideas for Hampstead Heath look good. Did you know that Jeremy is supposed to be coming to the next HH mtg (on 25 Jan) and...
I'd like any opinions or information about a striking fungus of which I've uploaded a couple of photos (into a folder 'Purple'). The best match I can can make...
Hi Mick, the photo you put up is definately C. purpureum. It grows along wood at the right angle for a long way before forming brackets. I've put a photo onto...
Well there you go ... I've spent hours looking for a reference picture (books and on the Web) with a similar growth pattern to the specimen I found, without...
Hi everyone, I've got in a muddle with the 2 Nectria species in Abney at the moment. 1 is purple and tends towards forming mats (maybe N. coccinea ?). 2 is...
The red one could be N. coccinea or N. punicea or N. fuckeliana (kid I you not). Microscopy needed or a good macro-lense on your camera. The orange one could...
Mick Massie sent me a piece of his Phlebia in the post two weeks ago which I have just put under the microscope. It is definitely Phlebia radiata based on...
Ted, thankyou for your help with the Nectria. Are you familiar with some of these species ? Do you know if they always grow on specific wood types or are they...

Just a reminder of the get-together this coming Sunday (25th) 11am at the LNHS hut in the middle of Hampstead Heath extension. To discuss surveying the ancient...
Following Ted's note, I thought I'd mention that I have been on several FSC forays (including some run by Geoffrey Kibby, about whom I'd strongly endorse Ted's...
Hi Ted, It may be worth mentioning to other members of your group that I run a fungi for beginners workshop on Hampstead Heath which is at present, free to ...
