Here we go with a few more fungi photos. These from another look on Hollins Hill and along Gill Beck. My ability to identify any of them is not getting any better. If anything the more I look the worse it is. For some of them, and there are a lot I am not posting I can’t even say it might be this or it might be that.
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.
Hollins Hill
The fungi were there but as I walked up the hill I saw nothing. After a while I started to see some reasonable sized Butter Caps. And then smaller ones started to be visible. Varieties of Mycena. I walked back down the hill following my upward path and all of a sudden there were lots of Mycena, Butter Caps, Milkcaps, Candlesnuff and others. I guess they were there when I walked up the hill, I just needed to get my eye in.
Gill Beck
There is one area, just past the viaduct where there a few large felled trees. They are covered in various Bracket Fungi and Jelly Fungi.
I tried to get closer to one of the bracket fungi because I previously tried to identify it and as usual it didn’t seem to fit properly with any. I have said here that it is Blueing Bracket, Postia subcaesia, but I would quickly accept that I am wrong because these examples are too big, not blue enough, and the wood they are on is not rotten enough. Suggestions please.
I think both of the Boletes I saw were Birch Boletes. Both had sections that looked like they had been nibbled at. The second one had marks of three teeth along the nibbled section. A previous visit to Hollins Hill showed similar evidence. Squirrels quite like fungi and can digest things that would make us very ill. I did wonder whether it could be Roe Deer.

It is often a best guess and it would take up too much room to say It could be this, or it could be… or perhaps.
