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

Sizable Fuligo on a pretty old lump of dead from yesterday........

 

This could well be the whitish to cream coloured Fuligo septica var. candida.

Unaware of any vars, that is why I was cautious with listing the species.

 

Thanks Gerrit

[Fungus]

a thread detailing the chemicals their full and abreviated names and give us some help in this area?

 

Tony,

At your service, see : Chemicals and reagens.

Yesterdays said crataegus with laetiporus

 

I take it the white stuff is the growing myceliums?

crataegus with laetiporus ... the white stuff is the growing myceliums?

 

Rob,

Correct .

Chlorociboria ... you don't like giving a poor soul the benefit of the doubt do ya

 

David,

In The Netherlands, we have found a solution for this problem. For registration, we use different species specific numbers for (microscopical) s.s. (sensu stricto) and (macroscopical) s.l. (sensu lato) identified species. So Chlorociboria aeruginascens s.s. is 576.01.0, C. aeruginosa s.s. is 576.02.0 and C. aeruginosa s.l., incl. C. aeruginascens is 576.02.9.

Useful to know, not sure if that has been adopted here at all.

On top of the survey of Oak mycos from earlier in the day, here are a few other bits & pieces from across the site later in the day........

 

 

Scleroderma on Ginko, more Russula sp, Xylaria polymorpha & Xylaria (sp) Pleurotus on Beech & Meripilus giganteus on Oak.

Scleroderma on Ginkgo, more Russula sp

 

David,

Ginkgo biloba is associated with endomycorrhizal microfungi, so the Scleroderma species must be fruiting from the root of another tree. I once found S. citrinum fruiting at the base of the trunk of an old Acer saccharinum, of which the mycelium turned out to be connected to a root of a Quercus rubra at a distance of 30 metres. The root had developed in this direction to collect rain water running down from the trunk of the Acer.

The Russula on photo 6/7/8 probably is R. parazurea.

With what tree species is the yellow Russula associated and did it smell like apple sauce from a tin can ?
