guess the fung!

[chris cnc]

oyster mushroom?

porcelain mushroom?

 

merip in its deadwood feeder form?

 

no, no and no.

 

you got the deadwood hint though- we are dealing with a saprobe

 

i should have been clearer with the mushroom hint- by this i mean "classic" mushroom shape, "stem and cap" style.

 

not a bracket

 

carry on...

[chris cnc]

dont over think it, its not going to be a super rare, spitting fire, UFC mushroom. work with the facts:

 

Oak

 

Saprobe

 

Mushroom shape

maybe, mycena inclinata and number 2 guess is velvet shank

trouble is chris, your asking for an identity based on your dead portions of oak, considering oak have the second highest number of associated fungal species recorded at around 2000 give a few hundred or so, well you can get a long long guessing game going here!

 

I am asuming the white portions of the area circled are the "shrooms"

its either inclinata or what i originally thought, Mycena galericulata

 

unless I got it wrong in which case i shall leave this forum never to return!

My next guess would have been a Mycena! I couldn't think of anything else at the time.

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

mycena indeed, but I would not be so bold as to whittle down which one based on those images!
