Local Fungi

With fungi, you sometimes just have to stare at them blankly for a while and then a picture suddenly forms in your mind and a possible identification suggests itself.

The dotted margin for this one points us towards Hypholoma marginatum:


This little group of Collybia dryophila caught my eye:

Love that Hypholoma with those neat dots round the edge - never seen it.
