Matt Bolete

This lovely mushroom was growing in Pete's woods. It is a Matt Bolete or Boletus pruinatus. Despite its appearance it is edible. 
Now is the best time for Bolete or Cep or Porcini mushrooms. Of course you have to avoid eating the naughty ones.

Birch polyphore or Razorstrop Fungus

This is Piptoporus betulinus found growing on a decaying birch stump on Chailey Common. They are multi-layered because the fruiting bodies persist from one year to the next with a new one forming each year. You can see the remains of the oldest ones rotting away in the top left photo. The original would have been much prettier; toasted on top and creamy white underneath. It is a very common fungus found on birch throughout the British Isles.
Interestingly bits of this fungus were found amongst the possessions of the 5500 year old mummy discovered in the Italian/Swiss Alps back in the 1990s. Otzi may have been carrying them to sharpen blades or possibly for its antibiotic properties.

Jelly Ear

This is the first non- lichenized fungus. It's quite common, can be found all year round, and grows on deciduous trees, especially elder, which these are growing on. Its Latin name is Auricularia auricula-judae, which is probably the most politically incorrect binomial of any organism (big money prize for anyone who can identify a more offensive one). It wasn't that long ago that the common name was Jew's ear, but I note that the current edition of Phillips (see useful books) refers to it as Jelly ear. I wonder if the ICN will catch up and change the binomial?
My thanks to Mr James von Leyden for pointing this specimen out.
