A couple of species from Pembrey forest today (April 24th)
Lycogala epidendrum ---- Woolf's Milk. This group of brilliant Myxos looked so attractive on a moss covered stump.
They don't remain this colourful as they go a dull grey-brown as they mature and break down releasing grey spores.
One of the 'Cavaliers' --- I think this must be Melanoleuca cognata var cognata = Spring Cavalier. It needs microscopy to confirm (cystidia at gill edge need). However at this time of year it is the most likely Melanoleuca.
