Gymnopilus junonius on Oak

 

No idea on the next & haven't got the time to indulge myself with a hunt for the Id.

 

Away for a couple of weeks now as I'm moving & have left the building.......................................

Hi all,

a colleague just asked me which fungi this is. Could this be Armillaria tabescens? And if so, would you consider this a saprophitic or parasitic species?

Thanks a lot,

Tom

David,

At the final moment, I think the mushroom will have whitish gills, which turn to salmon pink after ripening of the pink spores. If so, it's Pluteus salicinus.

And good luck with the moving.

Tom,

Gefeliciteerd (congratulations), this is not an Armillaria species, but the very rare Lantaarnzwam (Omphalotus illudens), a necrotrophic parasite of roots of Quercus species and Castanea sativa, which FB's glow in the dark because of bioluminescence of the gills.

Dankjewel Gerrit Thanks a lot for the identification, that's one special find allright, but it isn't mine. The pictures were sent to me by a Highway officer, who was mainly interested in the safety of the Quercus rubra this fungus is growing on. So from a VTA point of view, how would you classify this fungus?

Kind regards,

Tom
