Today the weather was damp and the air cold, with drizzly rain and a partially cloudy sky.

CAR PARK

At the end of the main car park entrance path I saw some Coprinopsis atramentaria and some Coprinellus disseminatus.

Along the path from the car park I spotted some Armillaria species which I also found in clusters in the grassy margins of the reception area.

ENTRANCE AREA

On the woodland trail towards Basecamp I saw more Armillaria, some Russula species (Fig. 7.0) and a juvenile Bolbitius titubans (Fig. 7.1).

I also saw the large white fungi from previous weeks and the remnants of the unidentified brown fungi.

BASECAMP AREA

Near Basecamp I saw some slimy orange fungi (Figs. 7.2) and the Tricholomopsis rutilans and Laccaria laccata from previous visits.

At Basecamp, on one of the logs, I found a small crust fungus (Fig. 7.3).

Behind Basecamp on the path to the railway line, the Psathyrella piluliformis on the ivy covered stump was still there.

I saw Xylaria hypoxylon, Tremella mesenterica and Stereum hirsutum (Fig. 7.4), a bobbly slime mould, possibly a Trcihia species (Fig. 7.5) and Parasola conopilea.

THE DELL

In The Dell I found a troop of small white fungi (Fig. 7.6), Typhula juncea and Hypholoma fasciculare.

I spotted some Trichia decipiens (Fig. 7.7), an oozing, parasitised bolete (Fig. 7.8), more Tremella mesenterica (Fig. 7.9) and a Crepidotus species (Fig. 7.10).

There was aother group of different small white fungi (Fig. 7.11), a slime mould — possibly Physarum album (Fig. 7.12) — some Spinellus fusiger (Fig. 7.13), some small brown fungi (Fig. 7.14) and a brightly-coloured Russula fungus (Figs. 7.15).

SANDY-GLADE AREA

On the path from The Dell to the Gnarly Oak I spotted a Phallus impudicus (Fig. 7.16).

ENCLOSED AREA

On the drainage channel path, I saw the Bulgaria inquinans again and Coprinellus micaceus.

In the Enclosed Area, I saw more Typhula juncea, Mycena rosea and the Picipes badius and from previous weeks.

I spotted a singular Pluteus aurantiorugosus (Fig. 7.17), Clavulina coralloides, a Pterula species (Fig. 7.18) and a Leotia lubrica (Fig. 7.19).

Returning to the path, on the bench at the end of the drainage channel, I spotted Calocera cornea (Fig. 7.20).

OUTPOST AREA

Around The Outpost I saw a couple of Typhula fistulosa, some Russula ochroleuca (Fig. 7.21) and, further along the trail, the prolific Auricularia auricula on a log.

TRAIL END AREA

Checking up on the Phallus impudicus eggs from week four, I found one of them had matured whereas the other was just the same as before.

On the way, I stumbled upon a odd shaped form produced by Phlebia radiata.
