Matt's fungi finds

[Fungus]

Some more pics of the wee little Gano.

 

Matt,

Isn't it about time you leave this dormant baby in peace ?

Looking at how grey the bark is at this region, and knowing the tree is colonised by I. dryadeus, and also the slight wavy edge to the brown upper of the forming fruit body, this may be more likely G applanatum.

I want to see what it becomes. It has grown since i last took pics of it. Would be nice to see if it is Ganoderma australe.

Pics 7,8,+9 -Leopard Earthball (Scleroderma areolatum) growing under small yet mature Oaks on an area of chalk heath.

Pics 10+11 - Monster Parasol Mushroom

Pics 12+13 - Unknown fungi growing on Hawthorn stump. The stump also has a very very healthy crop of Honey fungus that appears around November.

scleroderma citrinum= common earthball see http://www.rogersmushrooms.com/gallery/DisplayBlock~bid~6766.asp

macrolepiota procera

trametes versicolour

 

as for the fruiting of honey, will probably have been a panic fruit as the stump is no longer viable, they tend to fruit as a panic response as they get about very well via rhizomorphs generaly. This is true because if armillaria which is everywhere at almost all times was to fruit in the usual way we would see fruits far more than we do as it is.
