It has been a slow start to the toadstool season hereabouts, but these are a few recent finds from the Tunstall valley in Weardale. They were all photographed in or around Backstone Bank wood, an ancient oak woodland. I'm not 100 per cent sure about the identifications, so would welcome any corrections.
Two brown birch boletes Leccinum scabrum
Smokey bracket Bjerkandera adusta
Felt saddle Helvella macropus, partially excavated from the leaf litter in the top photo, to reveal the stipe
