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

[David Humphries]

David,

1. What in your opinion is 6. M.v. then ?

2. ... or (also) fruiting as a saprotrophic from buried dead wood/roots of trees that were there before ?

 

1. Gerrit, I felt due to the Beech deadwood habitat, that they were M. arcangeliana.

 

2. Was a first visit to that Hospital site & only for 30 mins, so don't know the history of the site to remark on what was there before.

Rather long stalked for M. arcangeliana, don't you think ? Not M. vitilis ?

Yes, I see the point regarding the stipe length.

 

Though i did not scale them at the time so can't comment on actual length apart from that they do look long.

 

I did not break the caps to hear the 'tell tale' sound of 'snapping' so can't use that to compare either.

 

(whiter) colour of cap from my texts suggest M. a, as ooposed to M. v

 

 

But willing to take your Id as I don't really have a lot of 'field time' with this particular species, as I'm sure you do

What about the typical shape of the cap (umbo : nipple), which is characteristic for M.v. And as you didn't assess the smell (M.a. : mealy or of radish, and M.v. : none) either, there is only one option left : go back to collect some specimen and use a microscope for identification.

Sometimes I'm on the hoof & just don't have the time to take it all in Gerrit.

 

Doubt I'll get back to that particular site this autumn.
