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

[David Humphries]

Whilst out this morning searching for a reported Tree failure over the weekend, I happened upon these odd specimens

 

They seem to be coming out of a strange multicoloured wooly mycelium.

I'm of the opinion they may be of the Russula & Amanita genus

 

How odd

Having struggled with an Id on the above I noted something in the distance that looked a little more familiar

 

Fomes fomentarius on Sessile Oak

No problems with the identification of the fungi , but I keep wondering how they got the muff around the tree, did they knit it on site ?

I'm guessing they did Gerrit

 

There's a pocket knitted on to it with a little note book inside where passers by can leave their thoughts & poems.

I showed my wife, who is a textiles teacher, this and she says it's an international phenomenon called wild knitting.

Here is my input, not sure what most of the toad stools are, a couple gano, would like to know what the choclate goo is under the emerging gano.

 

all found near Thomas Hardys birth place in Dorset.

Apart from the Gano's, these are the other fungi :

 

1/9/30 : Scleroderma citrinum

2/11/31/32 : Amanita fulva

4/5/6 : Pleurotus ostreatus

7 : Russula mairei (beech)

20/21 : maybe Inonotus cuticularis

24/25/26/27/29/35/36/40 : probably all Russula ochroleuca

28 : Lycogala epidendrum

33 : moulded rotting Boletus

34 : Russula species

37 : Hypoxylon multiforme

38/39 : Macrolepiota rachodes

48/49 : Calocera cornea + Hymenoscyphus species.

 

From the photo alone, I can not determine what the choclate goo is underneath the Gano.

Wow great work! If your right that is .... (joke) I tried to work out a few of them with my new fungal dictionary. But. Whilst camping othher distractions arose.

 

Cheers

Rob,

One of the Marasmius species with a whitish stipe top and a reddish brown to black stipe base.
