Today was fairly wet and damp, with a cold breeze. The sky was clear and bright and the sun was out.
ENTRANCE AREA
I saw a Parasola plicatilis and Coprinellus disseminatus along the entrance path from the main car park.
In the entrance yard, I saw the Agaricus species from the previous week — they had grown far bigger.
After entering the reserve, I saw a possible Agaricus moelleri (Fig. 3.0) under some deciduous trees.
BASECAMP AREA
On the way to and around Basecamp, I saw a Peziza species (Fig. 3.1) and some Tricholomopsis rutilans on a rotting log (Fig. 3.2).
The trooping, orange Laccaria laccata from last week was still around, as were the remnants of the Mutinus caninus from the previous week.
THE DELL
Around The Dell, I found more Parasola conopilea and Coprinellus micaceus (Fig. 3.7), a cluster of small Mycena (Fig. 3.8) and a Xerocomellus species in the grassy areas (Fig. 3.9).

SANDY-GLADE AREA
After re-joining the woodland trail, I found a white and yellow fungus (Fig. 3.10).
ENCLOSED AREA
In the wooded area at the end of the drainage channel, the Clavulina coralloides was still present as was the Picipes badius and Collybiopsis ramealis.
I found an Inocybe species (Fig. 3.11), Pluteus leoninus (Fig.3.12), a white sponge-like fungus (Fig. 3.13).
YEW GROVE AREA
At the Yew Grove, out of the bottom of one of the circle logs, I found immature Coprinopsis atramentaria (Fig. 3.14).
OUTPOST AREA
Later on the trail I found a brown fungus (Fig. 3.15), Coprinopsis lagopus (fig 3.16) a white species (Fig. 3.17), Paxillus involutus, some Scleroderma citrinum (Fig. 3.19) and a few greyish fungi (Fig. 3.20).
Along the trail I spotted a bolete species that had been parasitised by Hypomyces chrysospermus (Fig. 3.26) and a cluster of cream-white species on a rotting log (Fig. 3.21).

TRAIL END AREA
I went to visit the Fuligo septica from week two to find that it had moved along the log from it’s previous position and I had to turn the log over to see it.
Nearby I noticed some Parasola conopilea and a bright, scaly Gymnopilus junonius (Fig. 3.22) at the end of the woodland trail.
