Blackened but swollen not dried out Jelly Ear, Auricularia auricula-judae on the Hairy Curtain Crust Oak by the car park
Walked along the eastern border and found some nice crusts. There was a spot where you enter the Yews before the beech clearing. Looked like some dried out auburn coloured crusts on the Hazel on the left with a lot of Fuscoporia on the Hornbeam.
Some great Exidia glandulosa ( = truncata) in really good condition on Hazel, Witches' Butter, by the stream at the start of the scambles near the main path, top surface with warted surface and a velvety reverse side, as in the photos below.
On the same (?) Hazel, there were some really great reddening Stereum, possibly Stereum rugosum.
On the underside of a fallen Spruce trunk in the Scambles. No idea on this one.
Along the boundary path at the edge of the Scambles by three oaks just before the stream there was a fallen branch, now broken into sections, with a very impressive covering of Stereum, this time probably Stereum gausapatum, partly forming narrow caps on either side (semi-pileate?). Note the pale margin in places, contrasting with the stronger central colours. There may be older, duller, crust colour to the bottom right?
It had a clearly felty upperside, behind the leading edge, perhaps surprisingly so! The edge itself is quite serrated, is in "gausapatum".
