Lynn Pepper (United Kingdom) - 04 December 2010 This is the other one I mentioned. Taken 26/11/10. The road loosely follows the river trhough the town and these were near the river as were the others.

Lynn Pepper (United Kingdom) - 13 August 2010 This specimen which i think falls into this catagory was growing on a fallen tree by a river where I live, Staffordshire, England. 20 Sept 2009. It was almost as solid as the wood it was growing on, my dog jumped on it and didn't damage it like she has with some others.
