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

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

............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

some cracking shots david, loving the ray of light in the first one with the hares foots:thumbup1:

[RobArb]

1. Pholiota squarrosa on Fraxinus

2. Unsure on Laburnum

3. Amanita muscaria on Betula

4. Calocera viscosa on Dead Fagus (Cut and left stem)

5. Unsure Mycorrhizae following a Sorbus root

[David Humphries]

David,

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

 

Thank you Gerrit,

 

I'll try & get back to catch development

Rob,

2. Armillaria species, probably A. mellea.

4. Calocera cornea (C. viscosa : coniferous wood).

5. Sorbus is associated with endomycorrhizal microfungi, so this is a saprotrophic Psathyrella species.

Last few splatterings of fungal madness before I get a rest from this manic myco world for the weekend

 

First ones are growing in the pots of some Sorbus torminalis we're growing on.

Look like Conocybe aporus

Oudimensiella mucida on an old lump of Beech in me yard.

Next up is Armillaria fruiting out on grass some meters from the nearest 'living' tree.

Me thinks there are some dead roots below.

Some fine Boletus (edulis)

Paxillus perhaps

Lycoperdon excipuliforme

& Amanita muscaria in varying stages of development & desication

[Fungus]

1. Conocybe aporus

2. Oudemansiella mucida on an old lump of Beech ...

3. Boletus (edulis)

4. Paxillus perhaps

 

1. Conocybe aporus fruits in spring, so it probably is C. (= Pholiotina) arrhenii.

2. ... and Stereum hirsutum on the vertical saw cut.

3. .

4. Paxillus involutus (if not associated with Alnus).

I. didn't notice the bit about "earlier in the year" when I looked it up

Must read all the description

 

2. was there another fung, I hadn't noticed

 

4. associated with Coprinus

[Fungus]

David,

With Coprinus ??? I suppose you mean with Carpinus ?

[David Humphries]

David,

I did indeed mean Carpinus.

 

It is very hot here, heads not thinking straight
