Accrington Web - Today in pictures

No, have tried to look it up, but have not been able to come close to getting a name. It is a large fungi, the size of a saucer, will get back on the trail later.

Don't think so, its the mature stage that has me foxed, I cant find any fungi that turn up like that, with the gills out like that. Plus the blotchy top as it gets older.

OK - been through my mushroom book and I think it's Russula nigricans.
Search that on Google images and you get pics from all over Europe...

Russula nigricans - Holubinka èernající - Plávka èernejúca

BOLD Systems - Taxonomy Browser

2. Meadow Thistle with a nettle bug.
3. Yarrow.
4. Not sure what this is a seed head of yet, but it looked photogenic.
5. Meadow Brown Butterfly.
6. Slug.
7. Devils-Bit Scabious with an upside down hover fly.
8. Hover fly the right way up.
9. Its a bath when we get back.

thanks for the "we" but you did all the leg work, it was the mature stage that wasn't depicted in any of my reference sites. That made it impossible to settle on any particular type.

As Frank says, I will still name the fungus, I am going to call it Douglas.
