All the colours of fungi

It is proving to be a particularly fine fungi season up Corstorphine Hill this year, traditionally the best place in Edinburgh for fungi and excelling itself in this mild and damp autumn that we're having.

Particularly nice to see these orange peel fungi

and this brightly coloured fungus, the photo's terrible but I'm sharing it as it's such an unusual colour - I thought it was an aniseed funnel cap but have been told via Edinburgh Fungi group on Facebook that it's Stropharia caerulea (blue roundhead) 

It's a great season for earth stars and here are two fine specimens from the hill

Finally some honey fungus growing on an ash tree. Honey fungus will grow on vulnerable trees and kill them and it may be that the ash tree has ash dieback disease aalready and so was in a weakened state for the honey fungus to take advantage?
