Anyone fancy a 'crack' at this one

Shame i didn't do a spore test on the original before it dissapeared:sad:

Yes, It's interesting to speculate about one fungus taking over from another.

 

In fact I might use it as an excuse when I mis-identify them in future!

Monkeyed is spot on with the species ident!

Hi,

 

Don’t mean to butt in but how do you go about a spore test for Fungi ID? (Sending of samples or hand lens etc?) Any info would be great.

 

Good to see a bit of healthy discussion.

 

Cheers Steve

With spore test, I'm suggesting looking at colour of the spores, using a piece of paper etc......

 

I guess it may be possible to do a field study with a portable microscope.

 

 

Having said this, I haven't tried it myself ......................yet

IMO (and bumped!) I have to say I think the first image is G resinaceum.

If you want to check the colour of fungus spores you have to leave the fruiting body on a piece of white paper or on clear plastic over night.

 

If you want an identification on fungus then I think that the Tree Help still carryout this service:confused1:

I have been known to go fungus picking the spore test can be very useful in avoiding death:lol:

2nd one is Fungii arbtalkius, easily recognised by its unusual markings on the underside, they often appear as lettering!!!

 

Had to laff at that one
