Fungi photo competition- win hamas camera!

[Frank]

My truck won't start. So I'm sat on the sofa. Not a good start to fungi hunting.

@ Tony ( I dont actualy expect folk to get the species right in every instance) but in your case I make an exception!

 

...as for you Tony, well you specificaly must try harder!

 

Like my man Dirty Harry says, "A mans got to know his limitations." I was reaching a bit for genus so I'll be damned if I'm posting a species, especially with those things.

 

How about this then (with full Linnean/ICBN honours!) Fistulina hepatica (Schaeff.) With.

[Bundle 2]

Oh yeah...special mate! Not gonna win any prizes for "weird and wonderful-lesser spotted" etc etc..but nice macro image...

[Amelanchier]

Damn right. Its better than yours. I could teach you, but I'd have to charge...

Ark at tony! lol

 

Your little Calocera spp is cornea, asuming they was small as it appears from the grass baldes.

 

I dont expect anyone to get the names right in reality, but its the effort, going through that proscess i wish to encourage, and you scored poor!

 

You of all people Tony! I expect sooooo much more from a man of your pressence in the room!

 

As for you teaching photography let alone charging!

 

Your shot of the fistulina is flat to say the least (dont worry folks im only going to be giving tony a hard time, Long overdue too!)

I share your disappointment in others. But hey, thanks for the ID.
