Velvet Shank

A pleasant walk through Little and Great Morton Sale woods today revealed a good number of Marsh Tits but few other birds. This fungus is one that survives hard frosts so can remain in good condition through the winter. You can't see it clearly in the shots but the stems are dark and velvety.
