Today the weather was damp and cold and quite cloudy, with the sun low in the sky.
CAR PARK
At the main car park I saw the Coprinopsis atramentaria from weeks eleven and ten..
Nearby, where the previous week there was a singular Parasola conopilea, there were more.
ENTRANCE AREA
In the grass I saw some Mucilago crustacea (Fig. 12.0) and a singular Lepista nuda (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 Lachnum virgineum were still on the large logs.
On the path to the railway line, I spotted some white crust fungus (fig 12.2).
THE DELL
In The Dell I found athe slime mould Dictydiaethalium plumbeum (Fig. 12.3), an orange fungus (Fig. 12.4) and a white fungus (Fig. 12.5).
I also saw some Pterula subtulata and Phleogena faginea.
As usual I saw lots of small brown and white fungi.

ENCLOSED AREA
In the Enclosed Area, I saw the usual selection of fungi.
Just after the entrance to the Enclosed Area, by the side of the path I spotted some curious, tiny fungi which I hesitantly call Atheniella adonis var. coccinea (Fig.12.6).
YEW GROVE AREA
Along the path from the Drainage Channel, I found some purple jelly fungi — Ascocoryne sarcoides (Fig. 12.7).
OUTPOST AREA
Further on, I spotted some Phlebia radiata 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 an orange fungus in the moss (Fig. 12.8).
I also saw a Tremella mesenterica (Fig. 12.9).
As it was the last week of the survey I went to visit the curious round orange form of Phlebia radiata — it was much the same as week eleven, but it was slightly paler and had flattened out a little.
