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

[Fungus]

the Lilac fibrecap, but tbh I'm not that confident of it.

 

Inocybe species are ectomycorrhizal, Acer is associated with endomycorrhizal microfungi.

Depending on the colour of the spores (and gills) and whether the dark blue colour is correct, with pink spores it's one of the blue Entoloma species and with purplish black spores it's one of the Panaeolus species such as P. ater.

Yea, I wasn't that bothered about picture quality at the time, which was just as well as my phone camera was set to street light for night shots the previous day. I wanted the form for something I was working on at the time.

 

I did'nt have a look at any other features, however the colours are not that far off, as in the cap colour was very dark blue/black. Cap dia. varied but the biggest was circa 30mm by 25mm in height. The stem was quite thin at about 3mm. total height given length of the grass i would say 40mm.

 

The soil for the lawn was brought in and contained loads of bits of root that was largley removed but some smaller bits would have been left buried in the levelling. So there is I suppose the possibility of the fungi being in the sod when delivered or from the roots in the soil.

 

There is always this years crop to capture:thumbup:... with a bit more care:blushing:

Hi fellas,

 

Thanks for the feedback. Anyone any ideas about the slug at number 9? I'll try and go back that way to see if it has developed more.

[David Humphries]

Armillaria rhizomorphs & Phleogena faginea.

Geastrum triplex here at rest, on Robinia trunk

Unknown here on Beech. Perhaps Oudemansiella (but not convinced)

 

May pop up & have a closer look on the morrow.
