BASECAMP AREA

There was a large group of Candolleomyces candolleanus (Fig. 1.0) around the log circle and a few small brown fungi, which may be a species of Mycena (Fig. 1.1).

THE DELL

Along the path between Basecamp and The Dell I spotted Coprinellus disseminatus (Fig. 1.2); they were also scattered around various logs in throughout the Woodland Trail.

In the grassy areas of The Dell, I found Marasmius rotula (Fig. 1.3), a smaller orange fungus which may also be a Marasmius species (Fig. 1.4) and many Parasola plicatilis (Figs. 1.5)

SANDY-GLADE AREA

I found a large, scattered group of Leucocoprinus brebissonii (Fig. 1.6) in the open leaf-litter of the Sandy-Glade Area.

ENCLOSED AREA

In the wooded area at the end of the drainage channel, scattered around a small log I saw some Parasola conopilea, which I later saw throughout the woodland.

I also saw trooping Collybiopsis ramealis (Fig. 1.7) and found a few yellow fungi which I think are Pluteus leoninus (Fig. 1.8).

On a wet, mossy stump in a drainage ditch, I saw a group of pink slimemoulds (Fig. 1.9) — Arcyria denudata .

OUTPOST AREA

I spotted some Calocera cornea (Fig. 1.10) further along the woodland trail.

EVERYWHERE

Throughout the Fen, I saw Parasola conopilea (Fig. 1.11).
