Fungi Friday 🍄

I walked a loop of the famous Box Hill on the North Downs today. There wasn’t a lot to set the heart racing (that’s the hill’s job!) but a couple of things did crop up. Photos are taken with my Pixel 7a.

Early on in the walk there was a patch of what are probably glistening inkcaps in a shady spot.

It’s always nice to see summer mushrooms in the leaf litter but I have no idea what these are.

One thing I could identify over someone’s garden fence was chicken of the woods. This is the first one I’ve seen this year. I’ve never seen it growing in false acacia. This is presumably a dead tree so if the owners leave it there’s the chance it could fruit more dramatically in future.

False acacia is a toxic plant so I wouldn’t eat anything growing in or on it.

Thanks for reading.
