Check out those labyrinthine pores! I took these pictures when it was nice and fresh, before it started turning the distinctive rosy colour the common name suggests.

This species is generally found munching down on pine trees, which is just where I found this one!

This funky fungus is a choice edible! Best dried and crumbled into stock, or rehydrated into soups.

These alien things grow out of dead wood and old tree stumps, often in dramatic colonies covering large areas.

These delicate, beautiful little brackets can be found covering sticks and branches. They seem quite unassuming until you flip them over and see their amazing gills.

Similar to their cousins above, but less furry and more blob-like

Fantastically named. That's an Oak, and them gills are mazey are they not?!

One of my favourites. Those pores are really amazing.

Apparently quite a nice edible, but this one I found was only about a centimetre across, so I left it there!

As tough as the wood they grow from.

Possibly the most common fungus to be found in the UK. These pop up everywhere.

These imposing, woody brackets cover everything around in a layer of chocolate-brown spores. Some of them are host to Agathomyia wankowiczii larvae, that create the you can see galls on the white spore-bearing surface.

Another common find, but no less impressive for it inn my opinion. They can get massive, and they cover the nearby area with deep chocolate-brown spores.

Apparently quite a choice edible but I can never disturb them! I think they look amazing.

My absolute favourite!
It's huge, fluorescent orange, furry, it has bright-yellow spores and drips mysterious fluid!
What's not to like?

A choice edible. And absolutely stunning. I think they resemble a twirling flamenco dress.

These would be quite tricky to identify if it weren't for their distinctive liquorice-like smell.

One of the largest fungi found around the UK. I regularly see colonies of these more than a metre across!

A very peculiar find. These pop up in the spring, quite unlike most other fungi.

Very distinctive in both appearance and smell. Sadly all the ones I've come across have been thoroughly weathered!

The fallen tree these were colonising was almost completely covered in these amazingly intricate brackets.

A very distinctive polypore, and quite edible if you're willing to disturb them.

Very unassuming, until you take a look underneath and see those amazing, fractal gills.

If you catch these at the right time, they completely cover everything nearby. Very impressive if you ask me.

Quite common but still stunning. Their change in appearance on a wet day is quite impressive.

Magical! These definitely look like they'd make a good mana potion if collected.
