Salcey Forest, Northants 22nd October 2017

This second visit to Salcey Forest I was accompanied by James Richardson, where we drove to the southern end of the forest and made our way due east through mainly Spruce, Beech and Oak. Finding a 'hoard' of Dog Stinkhorn in an open area and on wood chip mulch and litter was surprising, with newly hatched specimens to matured and dying types in a very compacted area. An Entoloma species was intriguing, as ever, this being one of my favorite families. This seemed to be Entoloma euchroum or Stump Pinkgill, a first for us both, and attach photos here to provide evidence for this uncommonly seen species. As we proceeded back to the car we nearly trod on a splendid saddle type species in Tuberous Polypore on small branch almost on the roadside.
