Anyone else photographing fungi?

Had a short trip out today, found a few usual suspects and a couple of these - Earthstars, so far this one is coming out as Geastrum rufescens, looking a bit worse for wear but still nice to see

Went back today to check out the status of the stinkhorn we found, Mutinus caninus - Dog Stinkhorn, we found one yesterday gone over hence ID, but new fruiting body still not emerged, did find these though, Cyathus striatus - Fluted Birds nest

Some interesting fungi there, Mark. And ones which I have yet to find.

I regularly find one or two Earth Balls (Scleroderma) but so far the Earth Stars have eluded me. :(

I must admit Geoff, I only find them at this one location. The fluted birds nest I will keep an eye on to get a better shot with the 'eggs' in. These were well past their prime, I know how they feel :o

there are still a few about if you look hard enough :) - more velvet shank
