Initially thought Turkeytail, but now leaning toward Hairy Bracket. Even with Google lens and my mushroom book I'm still unsure. Any ideas?

More lovely books arrived. Just finished Super-Frog in around 30 minutes. Beautifully illustrated, Kafkaesque surrealism. So glad I've discovered Murakami. Strange pictures is for my daughter but I'm not sure I can wait until after Xmas to nab it and read it for myself. 🤤

🎵 "They call me mellow yellow" 🎵
"Yellow Brain" (Tremella mesenterica)
a parasitic jelly fungus that feeds on fungi that feed on dead wood. Either that or it's lookalike Golden Ear (Tremella aurantia) which is also parasitic so I am reading. Can't see any evidence of what it is feeding on.

Really like the look of this Mushroom with it's spikes and fibre-like cap. I think it's "Old Man Of The Woods" but can't find any similar photos online with this tan shade so please correct me if wrong.

Found these at the bottom of a tree. Initially thought they were insect eggs but on closer inspection they're slime molds (possibly Leocarpus fragilis) but don't quote me on that.

But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked."Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice."You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.

Southern Wood Ant (Formica rufa)
Horsell Common, Surrey. A real place & diverse landscape of heathland, woodland, & meadow which is home to many species of wildlife. Such a nice place that even Martians want to visit (See War Of The Worlds, H.G Wells)
