These sets of photos are to finish off December 2025. I still have lots of 2025 images that I would like to share but I realised that if I tried to keep posts in chronological order I would be still working on June. I have already posted several times with images from January and intend to keep up to date but also work back though 2025 to June.
The header image is of a variety of Oysterling fungus, Crepidotus sp., taken on a walk through DMNR on 12 December.
As usual you can tap/touch/click on an image to see it in better quality in the carousel gallery with an i for more information. And if you like what you see please click on one or more of the Share buttons at the bottom.
Apologies: I originally put the wrong year in the title – it was called Finishing Dec 2026. I have now changed the title but kept the slug/permalink the same so the old link, that is out on facebook etc. still works. Hopefully people won’t think I am trying to scam them.

Buck Wood & DMNR. 14 December 2025
Yet more fungi. This time from a walk in Buck Wood and then Denso Marston Nature Reserve.
In this lot I think we have:-
- Smoky Bracket, Bjerkandera adusta
- Russet Toughshank OR Butter Cap OR…
- Oysterling fungus, Crepidotus sp.
- Butter Cap, Rhodocollybia butyracea,
- Blushing Bracket, Daedaleopsis confragosa
- Hoof Fungus, Fomes fomentarius
- Blueing Bracket of some kind
- Crimped Gill. Plicaturopsis crispa?
- Hairy Curtain Crust, Stereum hirsutum
- Fluted bird’s nest, Cyathus striatus
The benchmark is carved into a stone near the Baildon side of the footbridge over the river at the end of Buck Lane.
Though I wandered around DMNR I am only posting two photos of the visit. Both are of Fluted bird’s nest, Cyathus striatus, a cute little fungus that does look like a fluted bird’s nest even down to the pale eggs in the cup, though they are less than 1 cm across the top..

The squiggles show where I wandered taking the photos on the 14 December around Buck Wood and Denso Marston Nature Reserve..
