[Fungus]

Here are a few for identification.

 

1. With tubes/pores or gills and with what colour of pores or gills and spores ?

3. Oakleaf mildew (Microsphaera alphitoides).

4. Pinus spp. ? If so, it can be Gremmeniella abietina, a Lophodermium species or Sphaeropsis sapinea.

Found yesterday whilst out with 3 out of 4 dogs.

Matt,

1/3. On coniferous wood and with grey gills ? If so, Hypholoma capnoides.

4/9. With pores and thin perennial tube layers ? If so, either Phellinus ferreus or P. ferruginosus.

10/14 . Armillaria mellea.

[Arctostaphylos uva-ursi]

1. With tubes/pores or gills and with what colour of pores or gills and spores ?

With gills light brown in colour slightly darker than cap.

 

4. Pinus spp. ? If so, it can be Gremmeniella abietina, a Lophodermium species or Sphaeropsis sapinea.

I was thinking Lophodermium but I haven't seen the needles close up as the picture was sent to me. Will post pictures of needles when I have seen them.

 

Thanks

With gills light brown in colour slightly darker than cap.

 

With a membranous ring or with a woolly-fibrillose veil or zones ? And if associated with trees, what species (Betula) ?

[Arctostaphylos uva-ursi]

No discernible ring. Growing nest to young lime (Tilia).

Here's a better picture:
