Lindsay Fisher writes: We don’t often go fungus-foraging at this time of year, but several Witney Woodland Volunteers noticed some flourishing clumps of fungi while working at Deer Park Wood this week, perhaps surprising after all this cold weather. Here are a few snaps. Identifications would be appreciated.
We think the first one [the main picture] is called Turkey Tails (you can see why).
IDs welcome on the other two. Probably not rare, but it proves there’s always something to spot outdoors at any time of year.
Photos 1 and 2 were taken by Roger Hepworth, the last one by Jane Jackson.
