Delighted to find the Birds Nest Fungus again this year including a young stage. Otherwise the highlight was being shown the Nail Fungus by the Mycologist group who were surveying the reserve - a rare fungus only found on (Dartmoor?) pony dung. Will post full ID sheet when I have finished processing.

Birds Nest Fungi etc RSPB Sandy
A very enjoyable day at RSPB Sandy hunting for fungi on a dull but dry day with RPS and CCC members. We were delighted to find Bird's Nest Fungus - these are very small but perfectly formed nests with 'eggs' - this one is one a bracken stalk for scale the group were on a piece of bark. While photographing a small Mycena species growing out of a fallen branch, I realised there were small objects in the frame - a group of slime moulds. My focus stack for this one was not optimal so there is a bit of shadowing but pleased with the detail. I think the following image is also a slime mould. Otherwise a mixture of small, medium and large species to challenge our photographic skills.
