Scutellinia sp. aka Ravenous Maw of the Woods aka Eye of Madness aka Moss Mouth. It's probably S. scutellata, but I expect there's lots of species in this genus that all looks pretty similar - I don't actually know much about Scutellinia. Very hard to photograph with a normal camera too. #fungus #fungusphotography #mushrooms #betternames #eastsussex #fungaldiversity #mushroomphotography

Trametes versicolor. Specimens like this used to be the most sought-after up until the early 14th century when the little ice age began and the demand for fans plummeted. #mushrooms #fungusphotography #mushroomspotting #ukfungus #ukmushrooms #eastsussex #turkeytail #trametes #thegateremainsopen

Strong umbos. Cortinarius sp. (I think?!) #youlikeatheumbo #mushrooms #mushroomphotos #fungus #eastsussex

Stereum hirsutum on a stick. The first song on Pavement's record Brighten the Corners was originally about this species, but Spiral Stairs pointed out to Malkmus that probably more people liked stereos than Stereum and the lyrics were changed at the last minute. He was probably right, too. #hairycurtaincrust #stereum #eastsussex #pavement #coolstick #fungi

A fairly pale Daedaleopsis confragrosa - looks like a sunrise or a sunset to me. #mushrooms #eastsussex #fungi #fungus #funga #fubgalbiodivetsity #noiceshelf

Clathrus archeri - related to Purple and Green tentacle I suspect. #bernardbernoulli #mushroom #clathrusarcheri #devilsfingers #mushrooms #woods #forest #purpletentacle #eastsussex #biodiversity
