Another amble about a near-Dartmoor wood - this one with a name I'm sure you don't need prompting to guess - with the Folks on Saturday saw even more fungi located. They proved [ok, my frickin' autofocus proved...] surprisingly tricky targets, so you're getting about half the species I shot, but I doubt you're mourning that.
Not just fungi, though, as we had company. Up there. In the sky [and the treetops]
Brown Rollrim
Death Cap*
[white form]
Angel of Death
Photos annoyingly burnt out, despite low light levels, or you'd get the differences between the two better. Oh well.
After that fatale trio, let's have something friendlier;
Cep
Teeny example of a famously 'edible more than once' species.
Grey-spotted Amanita
[Here clearly edible to slugs!]
Russula turci
Charcoal Burner
[rather munched]
Ochre Brittlegill
[also munched..]
Stump Puffball
To break up the fungi, here's some birds.
Redwing were in evidence all over the site, flying about overhead calling and generally being most distracting! At least 117 [counted streaming overhead at head of Woodcock valley], though no Fieldfares with them that I could see.
Eventually I caught posers;
Good distance, poor angle
Good angle, poor distance
Oh well...
Laccaria purpureobadia
[It's a kind of Deceiver!]
Shaggy Parasol
Soft Puffball
Common Funnel
Fairy Inkcap
Giant Club
Possibly Pholiota astragalina
Ok, I'm cutting this post off at this point [trying to ID all those fungi takes more time than you'd credit] as it's now 2 weeks late and even I have some standards. No, really I do.
So, I shall
Be Seeing You...
[[* If it wasn't so horribly burnt-out, you'd see the lack of the features that would indicate False Deathcap; a far more common sp. and present on site. It actually wasn't that white, looking far more Deathcappy in person, but my camera was in one of its moods...]]
