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.
take a look at this spotting ( http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7277919 )
I think it is a branched oyster mushroom. I'm having trouble finding a genus, though. Any ideas?
