I still have about 15 unknown spottings of fungi, if you have time to take a look or feel like a challenge! I can see you really love them.

Thanks Alex. I wasn't sure if it was that but I will take you ID for it.

I think it is a branched oyster mushroom. I'm having trouble finding a genus, though. Any ideas?
