A great collection of colour, shape & form of some fine species Tony.

 

One question, what brings you to the conclusion on the Tiered Tooth.

Looks very different to the shots in either Keizer/Collins or Jordans.

 

Not doubting, just interested in your reference?

 

I can't make out any spines on the base in your shot

You doubt away monkey, I dont mind when people force me to check my facts! My reference Jordans, and its bang on, mine being a young forming bracket clump. Hope these photos clear the spine etc issues for you!

Most excellent

 

 

We haven't had one seen here at Hampstead since 2001.

 

 

Out of interest, why do you use the Creolophus name & not Hericium cirrhatum?

has it been grouped with the hericiums then? would make sense.

 

They change the names of so many so much its hard to keep up!

 

I know that a lot of the coprinus genus have been broken up into a sub division or two as well but not seen any thing specific on this yet.

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

David, I've noticed a lot of missing letters in spellings and one the coprinus comatus is miss labeled is there any way to get these cleared up?

 

I must take more care when typing!
