All the best

Smashing shot. I,m not sure about this one's ID either. Slugs look like they appreciate it though !
Cheers

I would also be interested in identification of this fungus since I shot a cluster of them some weeks ago.

that's a nice shot Phil, very well taken. I've been struggling to find photogenic fungi this year for some reason. I can't help with the ID on this one.

HI Phil,

I have sent you an e-mail but it looks like you were spot on with your own ID.. Honey Fungus, Armillaria mellea, a young specimen..

Cheers Brett.... muchly appreciated, as I said even working where I do we don't have a fungi expert in the botany dept :rolleyes: , I used to get my ID's done by a Palaeontologist who has unfortunately now retired and is not in very often.

Playing catch up here tonight :eek: A super image with such a great colour b/g and dof. Going to try to get a few more myself tomorrow at my usual haunt, I just hope there are a few more than last week :frown:
