Fungi photo competition- win hamas camera!

and sometimes they make your stomach turn!

 

I've tried looking this one up, got as close as the slime mold, Fuligo septica, but this was white, not yellow. I can't find anything similar, so could it be Fuligo septica in white?

Are you sure you just didn't drink too much last night??

It could easily have been mistaken for something of that nature!

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

I hate to say this people, but i think slime molds have been removed from the fungi kingdom!

 

i shall just go and confirm!

not the shaggy parasol, nor the field, I will have a look see in a bit which one it is, but its stem is far to smooth and white for iether of those two

 

Could it be Chlorophyllum/Macrolepiota olivieri ???

 

 

 

Some from today:

1 and 2. Fly agaric Amanita muscaria (A first for me, thought it was too late to find them this season )

3 and 4. Beech Jellydisk Neobulgaria pura

5. Butter cap Collybia butyracea

6. Horn of plenty Craterellus cornucopoides

7. Common inkcap? Coprinopsis atramentaria

8. Amethyst deciever Laccaria amethystea

9. Peziza cerea?

[czhey]

And a few unknowns you could maybe ID

 

1 and 2. Small Mycena ?

3 and 4, Strange 'spiky' underside growing out the base of beech.

5. under dead fallen beech

6. on (ash? oak?) stump

7. Closest i could get is glistening inkcap but i don't think so?

8. large white, on fallen ash

9. small, on fallen beech

 

 

Would be interested if you know any of them

i dont care about the other photos, which at leats one of is very interesting besides the toothed one, for which for my money is a supreme find:thumbup1:

 

I think this may well be the aromatic earthfan, but the toothed fungi are so hard to come by i have not any experience of them outside of the hericium trio. a truly lovely lovely thing to see, you have made my day!

 

your last is a species of polypore (one i am still trying to work out myself, and interesting that yours too is on ash as are my three finds of it, a leathery and robust polypore that i will one day get off to kew, and along side is the tripe fungus.

 

great post, and the lumpy thing may well be the old man of the woods.

If you are interested in the toothed fungi i can probably explain where to find in Epping theres actually 2 about 6 foot apart on different trees see other one below

 

Polypore- If you are talking about the orange one in the last photo, there were quite a few on a fallen Beech in Hatfield. cross section of one below. They were small 1inch max.

 

 

 

 

Thanks

I wont get to them till sat and they will be gone, and ive only the sat off so HAVE to go to cutter1s place to do my final shots of the hericium erinaceus and try to get a spore sample for the future research.

and once again the tripe turns up fruiting on a failed stem only to find a new host! another one ive got to suss out for strategy, this ones an interesting fruit, i think its a bigger issue than we currently realise.
