Keizer's Fungi Q & A.

[Matthew Arnold]

with these russulas its just not practical to base it on images, theres so many and they are so similar.

 

thanks for trying though:thumbup:

 

No worries. Still waiting for my book as well. Put it on express delivery as well

Just looking on the "Rogers Mushrooms" website it looks very much like Russula roseipes.

 

Matt,

Rosei means rose or pinkish coloured, pes or pedes (think of pedestrian) means foot, so where is the pinkish coloured base of the stem then ?

1/4. A still developing myxomycete, maybe Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa or Mucilago crustacea.

2. Myxomycete : Arcyria cf. denudata.

3. Myxomycete : Lycogala epidendrum + young Xylaria hypoxylon.

5. Psathyrella piluliformis (= P. hydrophila).

6/7/8. Probably Schizopora paradoxa.

9. Trichaptum abietinum.

Kretz?

This is a Birch i took down today and found this inside, there was no fruiting bodies on the outside and the tree was pretty much in a good state except for a couple of bad pruning cuts about half way up that were brown rotting quite badly. The tree was taken down because it was leaning over a house, it wouldnt have been my choice to take it down but i am just a lowly freelancer. Once i saw that inside then thought maybe it was a good thing to take it out after all.
