[Fungus]

I've just checked my picture with the pictures on the net and it looks like i may be onto a winner here. The pictures match on all fronts. And the description of the fungi matches also.

 

Matt,

From your pictures alone, I'm 99 % sure it's Agrocybe rivulosa, so the question now is how to properly identify and register the species and in what official herbarium a specimen should be conserved.

[Matthew Arnold]

Some of my latest offerings.

 

1,2,3 - Apple that fell over in the winds. Xylaria polymorpha present at base.

4,5,6 -Alder with G.australe

Matt, the last shot appears to me to look like Rhodotus palmatus, is there any Elm there?

There is one elm tree but that is about 300 metres away from the tree.

Matt,

2/4 : are you sure it's on elder, because this looks like Agrocybe cylindracea (= A. aegerita), that is (this far) restricted to poplar and willow.

5/8 : Bjerkandera adusta too.
