A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
The fruitbodies are approx 20mm tall and covered in a thick layer of spores that came off when touched. The closest I can find in my guide is Paecilomyces farinosus (?), a fungus that is parasitic on buried moth pupae and wikipedia says has potential to be used as a biological control like beauveria bassiana: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/969... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paecilomyc...
Found in deciduous woodland growing in moss, nearby trees were holly, mountain ash, oak, sycamore an rhododendron. There were other types of trees in the woodland too.
