I think this might be Ascocoryne cylichnium - Budding Jellydisc (rather than the more usual A. sarcoides, Purple Jellydisc). On rotting wood in a Dorest woodland. 1/11/25 #fungi #dorset #powerstock

I grabbed my phone, a clip-on macro lens and focussed on the smaller fungi (and a slime mould) in a wet Dorset wood. See ALT text for more detail 😎 Powerstock NR 1/11/25 #dorset #fungi @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social

Hericium erinaceus, aka Lion’s mane fungus. Incredibly fortunate to see this rare and wonderful fungus. It’s one of only a few U.K. fungi protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981). So it’s illegal to pick or even cut samples. #fungi #NewForest #FungiFriends

It might not look much, but this is one of the UK and Europe’s rarest fungi - Poronia punctata (The Nail Fungus). Hours of checking New Forest pony dung finally paid off ! See ALT text for more details of this fungi #fungi #NewForest #FungiFriends @newforestnpa.bsky.social
