I was most pleased. The first one I found in 2023 was one of a group of around a dozen or more, in conifer woodland. It was a fine specimen; so fine I drew it in my fungi journal :)

Amazing what you can find on your hands and knees under the trees. Tolypocladium ophioglossoides - Snaketongue Truffleclub. Only the second time Iโ€™ve found these. I was very pleased. #FungiFriends

It's so vivid, isn't it? One of my favourite logs in my local woods. It really comes alive this time of year.

I've been watching this Pale Tussock in my garden for months. Every night it came out to feed on Hazel & every day it slept in its little silked-ceiling leaf cubby. Last week it crawled down to the ground to find somewhere to overwinter & pupate. I really miss my little buddy. #Callitearapudibunda

If thereโ€™s Honey Mushrooms around a tree, itโ€™s game over for the tree.

I love a bit of Lenzites betulinus - Birch Mazegill. Easily misidentified from the top, but one look underneath reveals their stunning gill-like pore structure. #FungiFriends

DNA work is changing the names of fungi but I'm still having problems with the different ways the names are pronounced!
