This one is not in its natural situation!
It was one of a colony of about 4 growing
in the open amongst unimproved pasture dominated
with onion grass. I didn't have my camera
with me so I brought it home!
Cap width 3cm
Height: 4cm.
The only thing I could find to come close was
Psilocybe subaeruginosa - except for one detail.
It did not stain blue when I handled it or bruised it!
Well, I have no idea what I have here!
It was a minute blob to the naked eye
and this photo does it no justice. (I have
made a note to myself to take more than
a couple of shots of stuff as small as this!)
I'm not sure if it belongs to the Tremella family
or is actually a slime mould.
These two are growing in my garden very
close to Poa. I first noticed them last year
but that was before I seriously took an interest
in photographing fungi.
Cap width: 6cm
Height: 12cm
Gill colour was actually white.
This is what happens when you
try to photograph gills without
upending the fungus! :-)

Another interesting selection.
The fungi season may be ending but the moths will be back with a vengeance soon enough.
In regard to photographing the gills, does your camera allow you to adjust the flash intensity. If so, just a little burst of flash will light it up nicely.
I could have used burst, but I didn't with that one, Mosura. :-)
Some fungi fruit all year - so all is not lost and you are right, the moths will soon be back in town - as will the butterflies!
