  1. You had me for a while with the yellow one, I was thinking "I've never heard of the Noidea genus" - then I read it slower! That one is Yellow Fieldcap, Bolbitius titubans. I've just identified the one in the fourth photo (downy peachy-white bracket) as Jelly Rot (Phlebia tremellosa). The latin name of the Earthtongue mould is Hypomyces papulasporae. The grey ones you couldn't remember are Fibrecaps (Inocybe) - not sure if they can be identified from photos but will let you know if I come up with anything.

    1. Huge thanks for the update James. Those fibrecaps look a lot like Grey Knight Tricholoma terreum. I went to look at them again today but all had been kicked to bits.

  2. Hi Andy. That's a shame. I asked for a second opinion on those and it came back as Grey Knight, which looks exactly like our specimens, is fibrous and grows with pine, so I think you are spot on. In addition to my earlier comment, the greyish mycena with pale green rim that we saw early on is Mycena amicta, and the cone cap that I couldn't think of the exact name was Conifer Cone Cap (Baeospora myosura). I'm still hoping to ID the weird gilled jelly one - Hohenhuebehlia is a possible genus for it.

  3. Thanks James - my ID was pure fluke - I opened my all-but-brand-new photo guide at exactly that page ! That weird Jelly has a great name - lets hope it is one ! Spent a bit of time this pm in Ringstead Downs today - we could have done with you there !
