I was excited to go on my first autumn mushroom walk and find so many of my favourite inedible mushroom species - including this fantastic polypore bracket fungus, which leaks amber droplets that slowly turn blue as they oxidise. Unfortunately, it’s far too tough and bitter to be edible, which is a shame because the droplets are appealing, in a honey-like way.
A giant oak bracket fungus!! Definitely a stranger fungus I’ve seen

As I was in the area, and was keen to see a mature specimen, I went back to check on the Weeping polypores that I found earlier in the week. They’ve grown to almost twice their previous size, and are simply stunning.
