Just some pics that fit the thread...

We were photographing Ramaria sp, the pic of the fruiting body is one of mine Jon's was far better.

 

 

 

 

Great looking setting sean

Trust you...coincidentally Jon was staying with me last week whilst he carried out survey work along feeders down my way for the utility company he works for...he showed me his pics from that day back in Feb (I was suitably put out by the quality of the pics...) I saw his shot of the log with Ramaria sp and realised just how out of focus my shot was.

 

I had thought Pleurotus sp of some sort but now I'm not so sure..sorry

my thoughts too:thumbup:

Ramaria sp

 

Sean,

I think this is a Clavicorona (= Artomyces) species growing on dead wood.

Its a good suggestion Gerrit, cannot remember what the spore colour was (if indeed any was evident) was it white or yellow hmmm...perhaps Jon's pic (which was much better definition and clarity) might help, I'll be going back there later this year so I'll be sure and check.

 

We get both Ramaria sp and Clavicorona sp so its certainly possible - I did not fancy tasting the F/B but that might have given a clue too; I believe piperata is a commonly occuring species. At the time I had thought it was Ramaria gracilus

Ones Fung-ordinates are honing their myco-senses.
