Dene Park in the gloaming

 

I went straight to the Beech area towards the boundary bank this evening, and found this rather old bunch of fruiting bodies of a Pholiota(?) species on a Beech tree wound at about chest height. This would need microscopy to be sure of the exact species but I think that it would be likely to be in the adiposa group of species as it is currently understood. 



Around the bases of the Beech trees were plenty of Clouded Funnels, Clitocybe nebularis, quite neat in their young stages, but floppy and all over the place when older



It really does get paler at the base of the stem



There were also quite a few Butter Caps, as previously but no photos.
