Congratulations to Markulous on winning the final competition of 2009 and Wild Canon on winning the overall competition for the year!

The top 3 members this year were:

1st - Wild Canon (80 votes)
2nd - Markulous (40 votes)
3rd - Keith (33 votes)

Congratuations to all three of you and also a big thanks to everyone who entered this year. If you'd like to know your score then please contact Jamie.

As you know, this was Jamie's last month running the competition so a huge thank you to him from everyone at the forum. He's run the competition brilliantly and I'm sure you'll agree it's been a big success.

There will be no January competition this year but hopefully we should have something sorted for February.

Thanks and happy new year!

Found on a Beech stump

This collection was found on a Beech stump on Saturday.
We were on Cannock Chase.
I wonder if there's any connection between the Myxo that Neil's asking about on the previous post?

You can't save every animal in the world. But for the one you save, it's the world.

Hi Keith,

yours is Candle Snuff fungus Xylaria hypoxylon , not a myxomycetes (or slime mould if you prefer ) so no connection with the little devil I've got Icon_cheesygrin , just can't find it anywhere!

Thanks Neil. I can see why it's called Candle Snuff!
