Trevellion Woods, west of Mousehole, Cornwall - 24th August 2018

To avoid shopping I managed to escape for an hour to what I perceived to be the nearest accessible woodland near Penzance. I wasn't disappointed except for the time I had to spend there otherwise the shopping would have been left for the specialist seagull Penzance Pirates scavengers and a very unhappy wife. Started well up the northern track and gravel road where I found a few Boletes close together but of different species. Here parkland adjoins mixed woodland with lots of Hazel, some Beech and Oak, and one amazing Maple that had fallen across a stream producing a monstrous fungi species as seen here. Well worth a much longer visit especially the real public footpath from the west end that straddles the stream NE. 


Boletus porosporus - Sepia Bolete

Xerocumus subtomentosus - Suede Bolete (large example being 12 cms)

Tyromyces chioneus - Unusual bracket often missed as anything but this species.

Xerocumus cisalpinus - found alongside road but in parkland setting. Note reddening under skin of cap

Laetiporous sulphureus - Chicken-of-the Woods probably! Not much else can be this size, largest bracket form I have seen. On Maple over stream had something to do with this no doubt.
