Fungi with Panasonic GH5 (Lots of images)

Last week I posted this thread on the Micro Four Thirds forum on fungi taken with my Panasonic GH5, Olympus 60mm Macro and Olympus 12-40 f/2.8 Pro lenses: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/60158176

I decided since its nature related, to post an update to that thread here. I live in Northern Ireland so all the fungi photos were taken here in a forest. I took these as I am working on a series of videos on the wild plants and flora of Ireland and thought it would be much better to take photos of the fungi rather than videos.

After taking those images, I really wanted to go back and see what else I could find. The firest is around 600 acres so wanted to spent a lot more time here to see what was around. I went back on Monday and spent about 4 hours here.

I didn't get to look around the whole forest, but in are areas I did manage to search, I found an abundance of fungi in over 10 different species (probably lots more I messed). I still need to ID most of these, so don't yet know what they all are.

This one I found on old rotting Downy Birch tree, its a Birch Polypore (Piptoporus betulinus) and it really reminded me of a big pancake:

This one is a Common Puffball. Its normally found in groups, but I only found one growing by itself on a forest path. I had a bit of issue getting this image as I had to handhold my camera low to the ground and used my Aputure M9 light in my left hand (mentioned in my first post link above) to sine down on it to get enough light, but out of about 10 images, this was the best one.

This fallen European Beach tree you can see here, was covered in fungi. I must have found about 6 species growing on it. This area on, around and behind this fallen tree had fungi growing all over the place:

One of the most common fungi on the fallen tree was this Glistening Ink Cap (Coprinellus micaceus) a widespread species of fungi found in Britain and Ireland, North America, South America, Asia and Australia.

One last one for the moment. I have more images and will post them after I have time to edit them. This is a Honey Fungus (Armillaria mellea) and it can kill trees and bushes if it grows close to them. I found qite a few of these growing around the base of several trees in the area.
