Those trees were planted for Queen Victoria and King George aparently - a group from Rishton wanted to replant some new ones in the same area for the Queen's Diamond jubilee to keep the tradition running but the landowner (a farmer) refused them permission which is a great shame as it was a really good idea.

Thanks, the blurry object behind the puff ball in number two is a tree stump, I think this is feeding the fungi. The trees on the hill behind suffered a bit in the storms earlier in the year, one place I go "the pines" just above dean clough reservoir, a lot of the pine trees blew over, this destabilised the remaining trees, this caused the footpath through this area to be closed. I don't know if this group of trees are in the same area, I will make a note when I go up, I think possibly later today.
just checked Goggle Earth and I think the trees are off Wilpshire Road.
