Thanks Andrew, there were a fair few species, about bolettes, 1 blusher, usually suspects glistening and common inkcaps, False Chanterelle (but none in good condition), Earthstars, I need to go back with my tripod :)

cracking shots vivid colours - they look good enough to eat (personally i would'nt tho)& they look like they're made of fondant icing ..

Thanks Derek, not sure if their poisonous or not

according to my feild guide both are allegedly edible - although where soils are high in arsenic , amethyst deciever can accumulate high levels of the toxin.

That said neither is noted for its taste , so i'd stick to photographing them rather than taking any risks
 
What began as a 'quick look', ended in a lingering appreciation of a compex life-form beautifully presented. For sheer colour, and the small 'incisor-like' marks, No3 does it for me. Nice shots. Peter.

Thanks John, I love my macro fungi togging, you get a fab buzz when you find stunner's like those waxcaps there were yellow waxcaps near by but hard to get shots of as they were tiny less tan 1cm so need to go back for them, (y)

Thank you very much Peter (y)
 
Where do you find these things Dave? Yellow ladybirds and now these mushroom things. If it wasn't for you chaps and lady's on here I would know half of these things existed. Great stuff
 
All lovely, but prefer the first one out of the lot. Never seen any fungi that colour before. Time to hit the woods with my macro lens! :)
