Don't rule out the fungi detector, with new batteries. The ones posted were only a small selection of the ones I found due to posting restrictions, some I've never come across before, but will have to post those on flickr, eventually. I am about 5 days behind with those postings, so the word eventually is a bit elastic.

To say its a good year for fungapuses does not do it justice, I have not come across the vast number of carpets of the stuff before. I never set of to be fungiman, but it appears to have taken over, I am starting to notice the almost microscopic stuff now.

Today in Pictures, slightly different posting today, didn't expect to see anything today, as it was persistently precipitating, and it was a short walk as town beckoned. However on the short walk between the Ash Pad and Blackburn Road, through the Petre Industrial estate, these were all over the place, so without numbers, the fungarama.

Dave I reckon they wait for you coming, then spring up! And I see from pic 4 you've got Bob trained to sit and wait for you to get your shot!

Re: Today in pictures
 

The area I was walking through has a regular mowing regime, so was surprised at the different types springing up.
Yes, when I stop to have a mooch, he assumes the position without prompting, it must be the persistent regularity that it happens, plus its the embarrassment that he gets when I am on my hands and knees.

Excellent photos again Dave have you ever sent any to Autumnwatch? If not you should when it comes on latter this year.

Can you try and take some photos of these magic mushrooms! ;) If you see any!

Re: Today in pictures
 

I think I have, without knowing they were the "magic stuff", I will have to browse my back catalogue

You can tell em by the nipple on the top - if you'll pardon the expression.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I love it when you talk dirty, just checked my fungal folder, no haven't got it, will have to put that setting into my fungi detector.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Ok I just wonder out of interest if you come across any, they like garden lawns and sports fields, open fields often with sheep or horses. Don't pick any it's illegal. :rolleyes: They do have a nipple on the top, they are very distinctive once you know what your looking for.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I sort of, have seen them, when I worked in Haworth Park, the pitch and Put course was covered in these mushrooms that a lot of students used to come and pick them, now I know why.
