Our Fungi Total now stands at 90

Possibly Tremella foliacea or Brown Witch's Butter.
We are slowly moving towards our unofficial target of 100 identified fungi species by the end of the year. We use the word "identified" in the loosest possible sense because, although we have tried to record the different species correctly, we are not experts (or mycologists!) and mistakes will have been made; indeed correct identification of many species of fungi can only be done by examination under a microscope.

Pictures of the fungi we have "identified" can be found on our Flickr site, see the link opposite. We would appreciate any comments or corrections you may wish to add. You must therefore not take this account as any indication as to edibility. Many fungi are poisonous to eat.
