An additional site that we are adding to the survey.

 

Line of Oaks where we have instructed the grass cutters to leave the grass long until late autumn.

 

This site has Fistulina hepatica fruiting on the majority of the Oaks.

Also there are two seperate sites along these Oaks where Podocypha multizonata fruits.

 

Mainly Amanita rubescens, a host of Russula sp, Lactarius (chrysorrheus?) Lycogala epidendrum & Colybia fusipes.

[Fungus]

a host of Russula sp, Lactarius (chrysorrheus?)

 

Photo 5/11/13 : probably R. olivaceoviolascens (= R. atrorubens).

Photo 7/8 : you can choose from species from the section Griseinae such as R. columbicolor, R. plumbeobrunnea or R. ionochlora and a wet R. parazurea or R. grisea.

Photo 14 : probably Russula nigricans.

Photo 15/16/17 : Lactarius chrysorrheus if the milk turns sulphur yellow on a white tissue or handkerchief.

Photo 19 : Laccaria laccata s.l. ?

[David Humphries]

a fair presumption that these germinating radicals probably already have the myco association from this Ochre Brittlegill - Russula ochroleuca

Lovely find lovely trees too

Those trees are alive?

 

Persistent!

Those trees are alive?

 

Persistent!

 

 

Not only alive but hardy and stout enough to have come through the recent storm in the UK unscathed when other neighbouring younger more brash pretenders were ripped asunder

 

This one less than 150 yards from the twins
