This is a fungi I found in Coldra Woods, when I was looking for a Geocache. I dont know what type it is it's not in any of my books, including Roger Phillips guide. There are lots of Fungi growing in Coldra Woods, I recently found the remains of a Giant Puffball, I saw Oyster Mushrooms for the first time there.I have also seen Upright Coral which is quite rare. Coldra Wood is a small wood close to my house, there are lots of different trees there, some of them are very old.Birch,Oak and Beech which are very popular with Fungi, all grow there.

The grey king Cache



I went geocaching today in Allt-yr-yn Nature Reserve.It was a very good cache.
I was lucky to see lots of fungi including; Scarlet Elfcup, Devils Tongue (pictured), Hairy Curtain Crust, Birch Woodwart, Blushing Bracket, lots of Lumpy Bracket, Oyster Mushrooms, Jelly Ear, Common Bonnet, several species of King Alfred's Cakes and Turkey Tail.
There were lots of birds; Great Tits, Long Tailed Tits, Robins and I heard a Woodpecker. I saw a Birch Tree that had grown back on itself
into a perfect circle which was very unusual.
