Plate Fungus

I like mushrooms and I like finding fungus of any type to photograph, so much so that we both keep a close eye out for it and are almost as excited by its discovery as we are when a deer makes an appearance…well OK, maybe excited isn’t really the word.

I know absolutely nothing about fungus and, having had a root around the internet, it would appear that fungus identification is a pretty complicated art – so I just decided that these must be plate fungus – no idea if that even exists in the fungus world.

Obviously these fungus were interesting because of their size and nutty brown top. However, it was the underside of the fungus that interested me the most – the pure, creamy white and ever so clean underneath was some contrast to the top side and it has a really interesting texture.

These fungus were found in Rowney Woods
