If you can't beat them...

Sulphur Tuft ( Hypholoma fasciculare )

I had intended to take a shot of this a few days ago but trivia such as the best display of the Aurora borealis I have ever seen got in the way.  Sadly they are now past their best.  The shot is also a bit ropey as I am still trying to decide on which glasses and/or which eye is best until I have had both eyes dealt with and got new glasses.

Sulphur Tuft are a common fungi, one of the commonest reported.  A number of years ago we had a conifer that had got too large for its position and so we had to remove it.  There is still a stump and these have appeared on it.  It is a poisonous fungus often appearing as in this case in largish clumps.  When young they are, as the name suggests yellow, darkening as they age.
