Anyone know what this bolete is? A colleague of mine found it hiding beneath the basal epicormic of a street avenue lime

 

Rob,

A bolete from the Xerocomus chrysenteron s.l. group, maybe an atypical X. communis, which is associated with lime and poplar.

Thanks Gerrit, what about this small bracket on a large lumpy labernum

 

Mmm, can't turn it the right way?

Rob,

Probably with rusty brown spores : a perennial Ganoderma species, i.e. G. australe. However, if with white spores : Phellinus igniarius.

I'll keep keeping a look out when we go past:thumbup:

Couple here I found today and as per usual I've no idea and, as per usual they are probably as common as the proverbial but if you can ID for me please?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

that looks like a gone over clathrus ruba, AKA red cage

[Taupotreeman]

No Idea Hama but it's growing out of the grass and the nearby woodchip. I don't think it was red to start with though as there are some other specimens close by that are almost pure white and still quite small.

This is Ileodictyon cibarium, see hiddenforest.co.nz fungi under Phallaceae.

the legend strikes again!

Trying to get my head in order with the basic differences between ecto & arbuscular mycorrhizal (endo) fungi.

 

Then I read that Ectos have the propensity to penetrate the cells of roots, which (I had thought I had this one ticked off) is endo territory

 

 

Now that's just not cricket !

 

 

for why ?
