Emma, Peachysteve and myself went up to Norland Moor and Gallows Pole Hill with the dogs. There was so much fungi everywhere, it was amazing. Here are a few of the things that we found.

Scurfy Deceiver (Laccaria proxima). When we first saw this we all thought it was a species of Galerina......very deceptive indeed!
They have reddish brown caps that are finely scaly, hygrophanous and striate at the margin.

The stems are reddish brown and coarsely fibrillose.
.jpeg)
Spores are broadly ellipsoid and verrucose. 7.5-10.5 x 6-8 microns.

Suede Bolete (Boletus subtomentosus). It has a smooth suede cap that often appears to be cracked as it ages to reveal the yellow flesh.
.jpeg)
Yellow large, angular pores that hardly bruise blue when pressed.

Mottled Bolete (Leccinum variicolor) above and six below.
.jpeg)
It has a sooty grey scaly cap.
.jpeg)
The stem is covered in a network of black/brown spots and is blue/ green at the base

It has pale, irregular pores that bruise grey.
Pinkish brown spores, spindle shaped. 13-20 x 5.5-6 microns.

Emma, always happy to find Ceps (Boletus edulis) and we found so many here.

Scarletina Bolete (Boletus luridiformis) above and three below.
It has a matt brown cap, yellow flesh and small orange/red pores.

It immediately bruised a lovely dark blue when we cut it open with a knife.

The pores and tubes bruise dark blue too.

Beech Milkcap (Lactarius blennius) above and two below.

It is found under Fagus sylvatica. It has a dull grey cap with concentric banding and it is slimy when wet and sticky when dry.
