2nd October |
Ards Forest for fungi. Too many images for one day. More from Ards tomorrow. Showers for much of the day. |
Chanterelles - Cantharellus cibarius - are always good to see. They taste excellent.
This and the next two species are all closely related. |
Horn of Plenty - Craterellus cornucopioides - are also very good on the plate. I located these by their smell.
|
Although these Cantharellus infundibuliformis were in the darkest part of the wood, a long exposure shows them in their true colours.
|
Again, a long exposure shows this Mycena to best effect. |
This looks like the Charcoal Burner - Russula cyanoxantha. |
More edibles distinguished by their spines. These are Hedgehog mushrooms - Hydnum repandum, although the left-hand image looks much more like a Hippo.
|
This is certainly an Amanita, but the cap colour has been washed out. Judging by the rancid smell of potato, I'm going for Amanita citrina var. alba. |
The yellow Russula was very numerous, and appeared in all locations and under many species of trees. |
![]() This Cep - Boletus edulis - is one of the most entire specimens I've found. That's probably because it's only 3 cm. across the cap, and the slugs haven't found it yet. |
