Hi Ingrid and Keir, Yes I have Bryce's 5th kingdom, which was bought for me as a present some time ago. It is a very accessible textbook on all things fungal....

There are a few of these, mostly small,in a ring at Ruskin Park SE5; the most I've seen there. I shan't be at the foray on Sunday, as it's my husband's...
Doing better than I, my patch has yet to show a single shroom. Sunday's foray in East Finchley Cemetery may break previous records by yielding no fungi at all!...
Hi Jo They are (were) in a ring on the Denmark Hill side of the park, in a bed below the steps and between the tarmaced path and the fence. There are a few...
Cheers, might as well pick them because they get kicked and trampled anyway - I'd have done the same. I've never seen them, I'm at London Bridge and might...
Well spotted! Try 72742598. There are a few left; they were all small, but a few very small ones have got bigger. I'll probably be around on Monday. Hilary ......

Dear Mick, Yes I would identify it as Enteridium lycoperdon (= Reticularia lycoperdon) based on the picture at the back of the very wonderful second edition of...
Thanks Ted, shame on me, I didn't collect the beetle, and identification from the photo has proved to be problematical as I wasn't photographing for the beetle...
Hello Mick, Having taken a look at the Myxomycete you snapped, I have my doubts in it being Enteridium lycoperdon as this tends to have a smooth surface, while...
Andy/Ted, For what it is worth, the off-the-cuff comment made by one of our party was that it was very fresh, had just settled down to fruit, and may smooth...
Hi Andy, You are right of course, Enteridium (now Reticularia) has a very smooth surface, at least whenever I have seen it. I put the appearance down to the ...
