Fabulous fungi

Autumn rains and mild temperatures mean fungi time! In places it's hard to walk without treading on them and walking along my rat lines takes a lot longer as I inspect the latest fungi to spring up from the forest floor, dead wood or on tree branches. A great website is http://hiddenforest.co.nz/fungi/. Some fungi are very distinctive making it easier for me to identify; others, especially brown fungi, are difficult even for the experts. Easy to take photos though and here's a selection from yesterday.

May be a Mycena, maybe not!

This one looked like a bit of sheep wool but when I looked closer
it had hyphae with fruiting bodies on it - one for NatureWatch

This one looks like Blue-eyed helmet Mycena interrupta

More of the one above

No idea what these are - pink brains??

Fungi everywhere you look

Non-native and poisonous Amanita (I think!!) growing under pine trees

 

Amanita emerges as a red dome, then opens out as above
