Hi John,

I think they could be common funnels, the gill texture is right and the colour is close, do they smell like almonds ?

if they are common funnels they are edible but I wouldn't recommend it without a professional confirmation.

Shot last month in Gloucester Prison, this was in the corridor leading to all the cells on that particular wing, I closed all the cell doors bar one and let the strong sunlight do its work.

Number 2 is interesting, and a good image, as I haven't seen this "in the flesh". Thanks for posting.
The Staghorn fungus, isnt that common, I've only ever seen 2 small clumps in 5 years of going to the site in Berkshire, its found mainly in pine forests.

I went the other week to Richmond Pk ( Fri 9th Oct) , got there for when the park opens at 7am, some decent shots and myself and a friend were pretty much the only photographers around, had the the place to ourselves photo wise till lunchtime.

The cyclists kept to the roads we went x country.

I read somewhere fairly recently that there is a shortage of timber and the prices have shot up to the trade by 70% because of increased demand, plus much of it is imported as well.

I went to buy some board for a shed roof repair a few months ago and couldn't find any stock anywhere, ended up using a 3.2m length of decking that was in the rafters of the garage, and imo looks better as well and I didn't have to over felt it either
