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

[Fungus]

the red and blue ones are Leratiomyes ceres and Stropharia caerulea. The white one I am unsure, they were all on or around a pile of woodchip/manure

 

Rob,

Correct , the red one is L. ceres (= Stropharia aurantiaca) and the greenish blue is S. cyanea (= S. caerulea). Without information on the stipe, gills and spore colour, the white one can't be identified.

The stipe was very much the same colour. I shall go and get more photos!

Here we go, had a good fidget with this one

Leucoagaricus leucothites.

Leucoagaricus leucothites.

 

Thanks Gerrit. Any More info on this species? I read it is edible.

Sloth,

Maybe Leccinum melaneum and the little one is a Psathyrella species.

 

Thanks Gerrit, any idea on the small shroom on the birch stump? Also, pretty sure now the jelly fungus is purple jelly disc. Could you please point me in the direction of an explanation regarding the two different forms (also, is this two forms typical of all ascomycetes)?

Thank you...

Sloth,

1. What shroom on what birch stump ?

2. Some ascomycetes - especially the Pyrenomycetes or Sphaeriales - do, some don't. In this case, both Ascocoryne sarcoides and A. cylichnium can be the teleomorphs of the anamorph in the picture, two species which can only be identified with a microscope.

Thank you. The birch stump referred to is the one with C purpureum and purple jelly a couple of pages back, after the last pics of the Gano on eucalyptus.

Sloth,

Flammulina velutipes.

Oh ok, thanks again I didn't think the stipe was dark enough or that they were big enough. Rogers says caps 2-10cm, they were barely 2. I suppose shrooms rarely 'fit the mould'
