Great assortment there Snappy. Like you I am seeing very few butterflies. I took Billy for a walk this afternoon for about 4 miles round a local reservoir and surrounding hills and saw nothing, until I got almost back to the car when I saw a Kestrel hovering. Otherwise I didn't see a bird, butterfly or any fungi. Still, Billy enjoyed it - he rolled in something smelly!

Funny how quiet it is this time of year BD. Soon have more fungi about though and I like to photograph the Jays flying holding chestnuts when they are ready.

Mostly proper big fungi today.

Rollrim ?

Maybe this one?   picturemushroom.com/.../Lactarius_resimus.html

Number 8 is a Turkeytail, 9, 10 and 11 are Birch Polypore. Rollrim ... not sure. I have a big thick book on Mushroom & Toadstools and I still can't identify them. There seem to be a lot which are very similar ...

It does look like it Wendy, so many look similar :)

Thanks BD. I have updated the labels :)
