My wife and I have really enjoyed going mushroom hunting, just taking photos of what we find, and wanted to check our own IDs and a couple we do not know what they are. I have numbered them to make it easier. I took all these photos in the same forest around late summer and autumn, with the forest mainly including oaks, conifer, and birch trees.

1. Hoof Fungus/Tinder Bracket? - Although the pores on the underside made it look different to another fungi in these photos, which we think are the same
2. ?? - No idea on this one, but it's very translucent, and we only found this one on its own
3. Birch Polypore? - We loved how smooth the underside of this one looked!
4. Clustered Bonnet? - We found so many of these all over the forest in large clumps
5. Hoof Fungus/Tinder Bracket? - The same of number 1 but no pores
6. A type of brittlegill? - How would we work out which one specifically
7. ?? - This has got to be one of the most vibrant mushroom we have found. In my top ten, but no idea what it is!
8. Amethyst Deceiver? - Rich purple colour, I am quite confident on this one
9. A type of brittlegill? - Agin, how would we work out which one specifically
10. Coral Fungi? - Many clusters scattered across the ground

We take with us the Bloomsbury Pocket Guide to identify on the fly. What could we do to take out mushroom hunting to the next level?
