    Saw these at Rhinefield Tall Trees Trail yesterday. There were many more as well.

    (I'm hoping to be able to name them all later!)

    The yellow Sulphur Tuft Fungus IS a lovely colour, Rolf.

    There were other pink, purple and orange ones as well, but I'd need to go back for better photos of them..........

    These three were interesting in their own way as well. The Jew's Ear fungus doesn't need explanation, the Stinkhorn has attracted a fly to its smelly cap to encourage it to carry its spores to a new place for the next generation of Stinkhorns, and the grey, brain-like mass which has grown from a cauliflower-like stalk, but is turning into jelly.

    A real autumnal treat, Catherine. from the first set - I agree that the Sulphur Tuft Fungus is a lovely colour, but I did wonder if on photo 4 you had gone a bit doo-lally and photographed a pile of some creatures poo

    From the second batch, that Stinkhorn is a bit suggestive! ...and the last one looks like some alien jelly-mass that will rise up and turn into something nasty

    I would love to try and ID fungi, but even though I have a "Collins Field Guide" to point me in the right direction, there are so many that look similar that I just give up in the end

    Well, the 'suggestive' one is called 'Phallus impudicus' after all - Stinkhorn Fungi - Phallus impudicus - UK Safari

    The fourth one in the first set was as seen from above - and it DOES look a bit like a dog poo , but a little one beside the top one shows the stem. Here is another pic of Boletus ones nearby;
