Another fungus we found in profusion was Witches' Butter (Exidia glandulosa) which has a gelatinous fruit body and was growing on dead hazel. It is one of the Jelly Fungi - the same group as
Jelly-ear (Auricularia auricula-judae) on Elder and Yellow Brain (Tremella mesenterica) on Gorse, both of which were seen in the wood.
After the walk we were treated to a splendid lunch by Tony and his wife (thank you) and afterwards attempted to set up Tony's two microscopes. All in all - a very enjoyable day.
