Brown bolete beside the red-brown one
Boletaceae Family
Angles captured. Two frames from above and slightly to the side.
Morphology
Cap 5–7 cm, mid-brown, dry, convex. Stipe brown and slender relative to the cap. The underside is not clearly shown in either frame.
Habitat & substrate
Leaf litter within a metre of the previous entry, same bank.
Lookalikes & what rules them out
Too little is visible to say more than that it is a bolete. It is recorded chiefly because of where it was.
To confirm this identification
The underside, which neither frame shows.
Notes
A different mushroom from the previous entry, found immediately beside it. Two unlike boletes sharing a square metre is worth recording — it says something about the ground that neither entry says alone.
