This Brown Rollrim fungus grows in the grass. If no-one has kicked it you can see it just inside the main entrance to Filnore Woods.
Photo on left taken 24th Sept and then 5 days later.
Below: seen from the side.
An underneath view would be interesting too but I don't like to destroy these rather magical structures
In contrast these Common Puffballs prefer to grow in leaf litter.
When they are mature, raindrops falling on them puff clouds of spores out through a little hole in the top.
These Sulphur Tuft fungi inhabit old dead stumps and help to recycle them.
They're not full grown yet.
And this Artist's Fungus bracket grows on dead or living wood.
You can find it on the fallen beech trunk near post 14.
Fungal identification thanks to local mycologist Simon Harding
