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

[David Humphries]

'nough of this banter malarky going on the presiding posts .

 

Lets get it on with some Fung

 

 

Bits & bobs from today

 

Mutinus caninus

What I believe to be very young forming Gymnopilus junonius

Meripilus giganteus on Horse Chestnut

Playing with the 'new toy' to see if there were any Fistulina brackets lurking within the cavaties.

Mirrored Gills, possibly a Russula (but not very convinced)

Scleroderma citrinum & Amanita fulva

Armillaria

& a nice wee Inonotus hispidus on this Rosacea

David,

What tree species is this sinuate gilled Tricholoma species associated with ?

[armybloke]

Gerrit, yes I will remember for next time. 1st pic found under Ash, 2nd and 3rd pic on H Chestnut and 4th pic on Prunus Sp.

 

That any help?

David,

Was at my feet when I took the shot of my colleague with the fibre scope in the shot above.

You can just make out acorn/leaf/twigs in the shot.

 

Quercus robur

Quercus robur

 

Then it could be Tricholoma ustaloides, T. sejunctum (smell of flour) or T. saponaceum (smell of soap).

Marco,

So the mushroom with gills was on Aesculus ? If so, it must be something else than Hypsizygus ulmarius or H. tessulatus, but without further information on the gills, stipe, spore colour and the smell, I can't give a name to it.

Todays stumbled upon specimens.........

 

Coprinus lagopus

Leccinum sp (one of the associated scabrum clan)

Hypholoma fasciculare

Gymnopilus junonius

[David Humphries]

............also these wee oddities

 

Thy look for all intents & purposes like forming Lycoperdons.

 

Gut tells me perlatum, but something doesn't seem right.

 

Open to any thoughts/suggestions

David,

Especially the last single one in the last photo seems to be developing towards becoming Calvatia excipuliformis.
