Mushroom underside

mushroom

Creoidotus cestatii has to be one of my favourite fungus. When seen from above it seems so common and innocuous, just a white crust attached to the underside of a dead twig. But once turned over and viewed from its lower surface it becomes a fabulous combination of shapes and colours, gills and swirls, love this! Putt Woods nr Faversham

Max Mudie's foraging expeditions reveal the otherworldly elegance, diversity, and minutiae of the myriad denizens of the "wood wide web."

Agaricus campestris - Field Mushroom.

Based on noted mycologist David Arora's list, I have compiled photos and a brief description, so we can become more familiar with these common mushrooms.

Underside of a Mushroom I found

Underside of a log, showing saucer-shaped appearance of centrally attached frutibodies of Split Gill (Schizophyllum commune). This saprobic mushroom is often found in overlapping clusters on decaying hardwoods. What appears to be gills are actually radiating folds or lobes. One of the most common and widely distributed fungi species worldwide, found on every continent.
