Fungi

But what type?

Friday 16th October 2015

After a visit to Pocklington this morning, I returned via Millington to see if the trees had turned colour in Millington Wood. It was a dull, dreary morning with bits of drizzle, just the sort of morning for photographing trees! I parked in the car park and walked up the wood but the trees had not turned colour. I was about to return to the car when I saw a tree stump covered in fungi, which I set about photographing with flash. I have no idea what type of fungi it is; an animal, presumably a deer, had set about eating it, then left it. Was it edible for us humans? I have no idea. I did look it up in some books but could not say exactly what it was, perhaps someone could enlighten me?
