Fungi photo competition- win hamas camera!

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

those hypoxylon pics are great

 

yes chris, indeed they are, not a species many would have seen let alone recognised!

 

Dont think Bjam is in need of the first prize, maybe hes after one of the runner ups?

 

reckon this competition is just getting started!

 

I deliberatley left it run to the end of november to sort out the truly keen form the just winging its.

 

it is just now, when some of the best come out to play, just as jack frost is nipping at the air.

More importantly, did YOU enjoy yourself?

 

these are the images of somone who has an eye for the finer details within the big picture, i salute your "macro" view of the world within a world:001_cool:

 

whats your background and whats your interest?

 

and do you realy need a camera?

 

I love photography and currently own a Canon EOS 500D - in other words your camera prize will not be coming my way even if I deserved it:laugh1:

 

I caught the mushroom hunting bug through arboriculture and own many books - especially Michael Jordan, Olaf Schmidt, David Lonsdale, R G Strouts & T G Winter and Wayne A Sinclair and Howard H Lyon to name a few.

 

The biggest frustration in modern arboriculture is the complexity of the many diseases and fungal infections found on nurmerous trees, all in various stages and the lack of information that is required to make a truly informed decision on the fate of the tree.

 

We tend to pander towards health and safety edicts and not necessarily a watch it and monitor the situation for a plethora of reasons which could be disussed for hours on end.

 

Needless to say I thoroughly enjoy all of your threads and especially your positive attitude.

This is going to be interesting, both of these photos were taken on the same stump at the same time as previous and they are on Pinus S and the main thing that is going to cause dispute, I've always been lead to believe that laminosa is mainly found on ring porous Deciduous trees. I look forward to your reply.

Mycena vitilis

 

More likely a hypholoma,
