this fungus was growing around the base of a tree trunk at leighton moss. i'm not up on toadstools ect . but i bet one of you brightsparks will know. it was quite a large growth and was just by the doorway to one of the hides.
........over to you!!!

The first one I believe is Non gilled fungi 'Coriolus versicolor'
The second one looks like 'Disc Fungi - peziza repanda

But I could be wrong

i'm not sure , but i thought they could be the same species. the second pic was taken a little higher up the trunk. but as i say i'm no expert
