Amazing orange peel fungus (I think) in Swindale, the #LakeDistrict . Does anyone collect data on these things? @cumbriawildlife @Britnatureguide

@TrailpikeRake Hi Geoff I asked our FB group about your pictures - one suggestion was Lepista sp.

@jaques132 @NaturalEngland @cumbriawildlife Hi @jaques132 this is a bolete, you normally have to cut them to see colour changes which help with ID

[North West Fungus @NWFungusGroup]

@jaques132 @Britnatureguide @cumbriawildlife @NatureNorth It looks like Hypholoma fasciculare - sulphur tuft 😀

[Geoff Jaques @jaques132]

@Britnatureguide @cumbriawildlife @NatureNorth any idea what these fungi are? 1 of several

[CumbriaWildlifeTrust @cumbriawildlife]

Just spotted these growing in a planter in the garden. I'm not too good on fungi ID, possibly Velvet Shank, can anyone advise? @BritMycolSoc @NWFungusGroup

[Donna Young @HerbariumDonna]

It's very easy to become distracted and pore over the treasures in our collections when they're #Unshelved.
These beautiful notebooks were kept by one women over 60 years, recording local mycology.
