Hamadryads fungus diary

Giles, Im not allowed to say I am right....

 

But i am! right i mean!

 

Go through tis the season to see fungi, and youll see a few differently now. promise.

 

lumpy bumpy topside, centraly eminating cap scales and a centralised stipe.

You've convinced me, mind you I was not aware of P. tuberaster until I read this thread...

 

Having read a little more, the stem base is referred to in some sources as a way of differentiating between them - P. squamosus has a dark brown / black stem base and P. tuberaster has a white one.

Todays entry comes from two days at Staverton park as part of the ATF summer meeting, a rather nice Laetiporus sulphureus on a rather nice example of Oak Pollard something the place is rather rich in to say the least!

 

This is just a taste of things to come, watch out for a joint thread on Staverton soon, this is going to be "special":001_smile:
