Final batch from Crompton Woods.

I particularly like the blade of grass on CW 16.   :)

Cliff, are you lying down on the woodland floor to get shots of some of these fungi  :o

They are altogether fascinating and so diverse - none of yours look as if they have been sampled - are they all poisonous I wonder ::)

Cliff, in CW 1 and 2 what is that on the ground? You mentioned lumber being removed and I thought this looked like sawdust, but not so thick and even as that. The trees are so thick they don't leave mush room for anything else. I thought I saw a chantarelle in there somewhere?

Hi Lesley,
The ground cover was a very pale (almost bleached fawny-grey) pine needle duff - extremely dry, in smooth but undulating flows. I have never seen such a strange effect - almost unreal and totally unexpected. Your suggestion of sawdust is as close as possible to the reality.  The trees were obviously planted in the parallel trench and mound fashion, but this duff had accumulated everywhere. Obviously the use of flash in such a shady situation created an even more surreal result.

Just awful to make a small joke, even a tiny one, and no-one notices it. :-[

Terrific, Cliff.... I have made a post in the Fabulous Fungi pages to direct attention to these handsome fungi. They are very photogenic are they not?
