    Lovely pic @chicky

    Found these growing in my Boston fern pot. I chopped the fern down as it was massive.
    The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.

    I found this weird bluey fungus on a stick in the garden today. Cobalt crust fungus apparently but it looks and feels like purple velvet.


    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I'm loving this thread.
    Those are really beautiful @Chivetalking - especially the ones right at the front. Like little frilly brollies  :)
    I spotted some today round by the shed when feeding the birds
    They're all glossy from the dampness 



    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Gorgeous @Fairygirl
    ... are they Sulphur tuft do you think?

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    No idea @Dovefromabove.  :D

    I'll have a look at the link and see. I expect @Ante might know though  :)

    Certainly looks possible. Although they're under, and next to,  the conifer, they're growing on the trunk of an old cherry tree that I had to remove when I moved in here. The new wood above is the trunk from last year's Christmas tree.  :)

    They look lovely @Fairygirl.
    I think that they are from Hygrocybe family, possible  Hygrocybe chlorophana. They love damp areas and old rotten wood. 

    They are more slimy than Hypholoma fasciculare and have brighter yellow colour.

    Thanks for that info @Ante30. Lovely to have an expert on the forum  :)
    They are quite brightly coloured, and although it was very damp, they were very shiny/slimy looking - more than I'd have expected.

    I've not noticed them before, but, having retired, it's probably because I'm out there in daylight more often at this time of year. Lovely little things  :)

    I had a small walk thru woods yesterday and found these little mushrooms.
