Hebeloma populinum in Inverkeithing

A tricky one, as it requires looking at almost everything under the microscope. This was beside some relatively small Betulas and little else on the barren and wet quarry floor

Cortinarius hemitrichus

Inverkeithing, Prestonhill Quarry

Lycoperdon molle at Inverkeithing

The floor of Prestonhill Quarry is like a mushroom cafeteria at the moment, with a bewildering array of fungi on display (including some beautiful, but difficult, Coritinarius).

This Soft Puffball is in several small clusters in one area. It has an odd golfball-like indentation which I can only see in, of all places, the Collins guide to Mushrooms and Toadstools (the basic one, not the "comprehensive" one). In the last couple of years I've seen the species mostly at the edge of flower beds in Dalgety Bay.

Lyophyllum loricatum at Prestonhill Quarry, Inverkeithing
