Today was damp and cool, and it was wet in some areas.
ENTRANCE AREA
At the Entrance Yard, I came across a small group of Agaricus (Fig. 2.0) species pushing up through gravel stones.
BASECAMP AREA
On the Basecamp Loop, the Peziza species had disappeared, but I spotted a group of Laccaria laccata and a few small Mycena (Fig. 2.1).
On the path leading to Basecamp, I saw the Fuligo cinerea from last week and, around the log circle at Basecamp, there was a large group of Candolleomyces candolleanus (Fig. 2.2).
THE DELL
In The Dell I spotted a juvenile Amanita phalloides (Fig. 2.3).
SANDY GLADE AREA
Later, at the clearing in the Sandy-Glade area, I found Marasmius rotula (Fig. 2.4) and the
Hemitrichia clavata from Day 1.
On the path to the Gnarly Oak, I spotted a juvenile-looking Cerioporus squamosus (Fig. 2.5) on a branch.
ENCLOSED AREA
In the Enclosed Area, I saw Collybiopsis ramealis and Picipes badius from Day 1 and Leota lubrica (Fig. 2.6).
YEW GROVE AREA
On the way to The Outpost — past the Yew Grove — I found the Laccaria bicolour from last week.
OUTPOST AREA
The Tubifera ferruginosa on the Alder had turned into spore mass form, and in The Outpost itself I found the white egg-like specimen unchanged.
I also found Scleroderma verrucosum (Fig. 2.7) by the side of the path and Hypholoma fasciculare (Fig. 2.8) on a rotting log.
TRAIL END AREA
I spotted Exidia nucleata (Fig. 2.9) on a log by the side of the path.
On the log piles in the End of Trail Area, there were many Fuligo septica (Fig. 2.10) in various stages of formation, as well as an unidentified bolete specimen — this may be Imleria badia (Fig. 2.11).

OTHER
I found juvenile Hydnum repandum, but its location has not been disclosed due to its culinarily prized nature.
Throughout the reserve woodland, especially at the Outpost and The Dell, I found Scleroderma citrinum (Fig. 2.12).
