Description

In mid-September 2025 I went for a fungi walk in an area of ancient woodland in the western reaches of the High Weald National Landscape.

I had to search but found some interesting mushrooms. Here's what I found:

• Deer shield
• Slime mould (slime mould's memory)
• Birch polypore
• Birch bolete
• Hairy curtain crust
• Splitgill fungus
• Shaggy scalycap
• Cep/porcini/pennybun (Boletus edulis)

If you want to see more of my fungi photography I publish every Friday in the autumn on Fungi Friday

Thanks for listening.
