Hello Folks! Fungi come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and colours. Whilst some are edible, others are poisonous and best avoided. They can be found almost everywhere and are often easily overlooked. Many can be seen in woodland and meadow, especially at this time of year.Each Monday for 12 weeks I will be posting a little teaser for you. Without looking in books or on the internet (i.e - no cheating), see if you can identify the UK fungus. On Wednesday, so as long as no-one has guessed it, I will post one clue. On Friday I will post the answer along with some additional information for your interest.MYSTERY FUNGI QUIZ #7If you are not careful, Aunt Enchantra might spread this.
Yep that's what TJ and I have; the last clue cinched it with that anagram lol

Worried me a bit when TJ thought the fungus was black or did I misunderstand that (nothing new there some may say)

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
You obviously didn't 'research' the same as TJ & I did - you are playing properly!!!!
I think there's a consensus that it's Witches Butter. The problem is that two species of fungi have been associated with that name if I've understood correctly what I've read. I think it's the black one but what do I know.
MrsT will put us out of our misery tomorrow - after she's stopped falling about laughing.

That looks like the one I was thinking of Marjus,I had forgotten about Yellow Brain,sounds like a character from the old horror comics.
And this is the one I thought it might be

It does seem that the common name has been applied to both these species so we await MrsT's verdict.
TJ I dare not say what that looks like but be careful where you put your feet.
Looks truly disgusting - yuk!!!!
