[Dave]

Hi

Took my aunts dog out for a walk around birkacre, today and found these

Scarlet-Caterpillarclub (Cordyceps-militaris)



Shaggy Pholiota (Pholiota-Squarrosa)



Thanks for looking

Dave

Please can you tell me where at Birkacre you found the Scarlet Caterpillar Fungus as that species is a new one for the site. The fungus in the background also looks interesting!
I query the ID of the other picture as Shaggy Pholiota, to me it looks more like young Puffballs but positive ID from photos, even very good ones like yours, is almost impossible. If you let me know where those are as well, I will go to look to confirm ID.
Thanks, Joyce

Hi Joyce

I just look on a fungi site for ID so, just find similar for Ids, the puff balls are on the path along the left of the big lake as you come on to it after the mucky pond,the scarelets are near the gate at primrose hill on the right as you go towards it after the top path about 6 to 9 feet or so, their tiny Clicky to map the dead mans fingers are on the left of the little pond, in the woods close to the road Clicky to map on a decaying birch log,in the woods about 3 feet from the fence
