Today the weather was damp and cold and quite cloudy, with the sun low and visible in the sky.

CAR PARK

At the main car park that I saw the Coprinopsis atramentaria from weeks eleven and ten — they had fallen over and started deliquescing.

Nearby, where the previous week there was a singular Parasola conopilea, there were more.

Along the path from the car park to the railway crossing I saw Xylaria hypoxylon and Coprinellus disseminatus.

ENTRANCE AREA

Just inside the entrance to the right in the grass I saw a singular Lepista nuda (Fig. 12.0) and entering the reserve, I saw some Mucilago crustacea (Fig. 12.1).

BASECAMP AREA

On the way to Basecamp I noticed that the Laccaria laccata from previous weeks were all gone.

At Basecamp, the Daldinia concentrica and Eupezizella roseoguttata were still on the large logs.

On the path to the railway line, I spotted a Parasola plicatilis and some white crust fungus (fig 12.2).

THE DELL

In The Dell I found a white fungus (Fig. 12.3), an orange fungus (Fig. 12.4) and the slime mould Dictydiaethalium plumbeum.

I also saw Coprinellus micaceus, some Pterula andPhleogena faginea.

As usual I saw lots of little brown and white fungi.

ENCLOSED AREA

In the Enclosed Area, I saw the usual selection of fungi.

YEW GROVE AREA

Along the path from the Drainage Channel, I found some purple jelly fungi — Ascocoryne sarcoides (Fig. 12.5), and two bright pink fungi which looked like Atheniella adonis var. coccinea (Fig. 12.6).

OUTPOST AREA

Further on, I spotted some Phlebia radiata (Fig. 12.7) and a Typhula fistulosa.

In the Outpost area, I saw Calocera cornea and Nectria cinnabarina.

TRAIL END AREA

Past The Outpost, I spotted the Exidia nucleata from week ten and a Tremella mesenterica (Fig. 12.8).

On a log by the path was a little brown mushroom in the moss (Fig. 12.9).

As it was the last week of the survey I went to visit the curious round orange form of Phlebia radiata (Fig. 12.10) — it was much the same as week eleven, but it was slightly paler and had flattened out a little.

EVERYWHERE

Once again I saw Xylaria hypoxylon throughout the woodland.
