Having found the previous visit interesting where we looked at fruit, berries and fungi. I decided to go and have another look at fungi in Shipley Glen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have stuck a photo up as header image and stuck my neck out when I say it is Russet Toughshank, Gymnopus dryophilus<\/em><\/s> Butter Cap, Rhodocollybia butyracea<\/em>. I have included that photo because it is wide, to make the header image. I didn’t really spend any time looking at them. I will have to go to the Fungi Foray tomorrow where experts can attempt to point me in the right direction for identifying these things<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual you can tap\/touch\/click on an image to see it in better quality in the carousel gallery with an i<\/em> for more information. And if you like what you see please click on one or more of the Share <\/em>buttons at the bottom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

These are some of the fungi I spotted that have gills under the cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual I have made a guess at what kind of fungus they are. The Fly Agaric I am confident about. The Sulphur Tuft is the next. I also hope I am right with the Amethyst Deceiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The others I have tried to put in the right families – Amanita, Russula, Mycena, Lactarius (Milkcaps) and Armillaria (Honey Fungus).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see the names I have given them if you view them in their carousel gallery and see more if you click on the i<\/em> for information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this visit I had a UV torch with me that I shown on those that I thought were Sulphur Tufts – and their gills shone yellow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pores<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These are the Bolete and Bracket fungi that have pores and Black Bulgar, Bulgaria inquinans<\/em>, that spreads black spores that have coloured the fallen tree black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way that some of the Boletes change colour when pressed or damaged is quite impressive. Several of them turn blue, the speed that they do that varies between the species. The impressive one was, what I think, Suillellus luridus. A cut, or squashed, or broken section quickly turned an intense dark blue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Several times while I was under the trees I heard decent sized flocks of geese fly over. When I came out I was fortunate enough to see a few fly over. If I view them through rose tinted glasses I could say that they are Pink Footed Geese. They are around, but these are more likely to be Grey Lag Geese flying up to the Mitton Farm fields from Milner Farm fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other 2 photos are of Oak leaves with Galls on them. One has Silk Button Spangle Galls and Common Spangle Galls. The other leaf has Cherry Galls that have riped red..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Track<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The squiggles show where I wandered taking the photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
