Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....

Nice ones monkey.

 

just been looking at the shots we talked about before on the start of this page, seeing the size and shape in better context Im well convinced you have T lutescens, being solitary, and a bit bog for exidia, also overly clear, even though the books say T lutescens is whitish!

 

How about this one fella, The leafy brain Tremella foliacea:thumbup1:

[David Humphries]

Nice find & shot Hama,

have you come across the paler form before?

What a lovely website http://www.fungitobewith.org/index.p...d=19&Itemid=20 , thankyou David I will while away a few night hours trawling through that one:thumbup1:

Will sound like a daft question but if laying "bit's of tree", etc, around the garden partially buried, will it encourage fungi???

 

Just wondering if there's anyway to bring them in to the "home environment"???

Do you mean the paler form of tremella or Exidia?

 

If tremella no, been looking for the crystal brain but never found one, got all the others just waiting to complete the set!

 

If you want Foliacea keep your eyes open on beech and hazel, seems to love those two substrates

Yes basicaly! I have a few beech logs outside myself, got a lovely crop of oysters twice now, think its over now though, time for new wood.

 

If your into this one get a book by paul stamets growing gourmet and medicinal mushrooms, wicked stuff, hoping to grow myself a monkies head soon!

Dont know so much that his is a paler form, just at different stages perhaps, it does go through various depths and tones as it emerges matures then blackens, does andy say there is a paler form?

 

So it seems, as I would suspect they are all parasites on various Stereums or peniophoras, i wonder if the crystal brain is the same? cant wait to find one!

The Collins guide I have in front of me at work (page 290) eludes to there being two seperate "forms"

 

& shows a shot of both, the paler one being identical to Andys one on the "link"

Cool, i love finding out I have yet another to find! So many fungi out there, thats why I love it, theres just so much to learn and find, and one of the few things you can do that is still largely an unkown quantity.

 

I must get this collins one everyone seems to have! I searched out one of rayners but it was going for 350 plus! so collins will have to suffice for now! I need a book fix as havent bought one for ages!
