Rounded Earthstar (Geastrum fimbriatum)
Came across this great example of an earthstar fungus the other day – real treat. I think it is Geastrum fimbriatum (but the ring around the spore hole could make it G. saccatum). Any feedback welcome!

Great Autumn for Fungi – wet and warm. A trip to your local woodland trust or local wildlife trust woodland will be rewarded with some great fungal finds this autumn. As always – look and don’t touch – many of these are pleasant to look at but harmful if eaten (some not so pleasant to look at) – These are some photos taken with an iPhone and posted to our TwitPic service over the weekend.
