Magic Mushrooms

I recently discovered a little gem of wood between Frant and Mark Cross called Nap Wood.  It's semi natural with beautiful oak, birch and beech trees.  It has sunken lanes (apparently used by drovers for pannage) and should be covered in bluebells come springtime.  It is a great example of Wealden woodland dating back some years with plenty of deadwood and a nice patch of chestnut coppice.





It was also full of an array of different fungi.  I have been trying to identify them but not quite figured them all out.  Some are much more distinguishable than others.
