ENTRANCE AREA
On the path from the main car park to the Railway Crossing, I saw Coprinellus micaceus (Fig. 2.0).
In the reception area, forward of the timber clad building, I found a number of large white Agaricus species (Fig. 2.1) scattered in the stone chippings.
ENTRANCE PATH
On the path to Basecamp, I found a Mycena species (Fig. 2.2), a Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca (Fig. 2.3) and a yellow slimemould which could have been Mucilago crustacea (Fig. 2.4).
BASECAMP AREA
In the grass at the edge of the path, on the Basecamp Loop, I saw Laccaria laccata (Fig. 2.5).
At Basecamp I saw a large brown fungus (Fig. 2.6), a Bolbitius titubans (Fig. 2.7) and Mutinus caninus (Fig. 2.8).

THE DELL
In and around The Dell I saw a red stemmed Xerocomellus species (Fig. 2.9).
ENCLOSED AREA
I spotted a Clavulina species which I think is Clavulina coralloides (Fig. 2.10).
Whereas C. coralloides has white or cream fruitbodies, C. cinerea is very similar in form — both can have either crested or rounded tips — but is grey in colour.
However, when parasitised by micro fungi, C. coralloides can turn to darker shades of grey or brown, making identification difficult.
I also found an Inocybe species (Fig. 2.11), a few tiny Mycena acicula (Fig. 2.12) and juvenile Picipes badius on a large fallen tree (Fig. 2.13).
Clustered around the fallen branches and twigs were troopss of Marasmiellus ramealis.

YEW GROVE AREA
Further along the Woodland Trail, I found what looked like Paxillus involutus (Fig. 2.14).
Off the path to the right, I found Amanita fulva (Fig. 2.15), followed by a Peziza species (Fig. 2.16).

TRAIL END
Back on the path I found Auricularia auricula on a rotting log (Fig. 2.17).
Past The Outpost, on a pile of logs I found a sprawling yellow slime mould — Fuligo septica (Fig. 2.18), Stereum subtomentosum (Fig. 2.19), and some Calocera cornea (Figs. 2.20).

OTHER
Throughout the fen, as in last week, I found Parasola conopilea.
