starving applanatums most likely

Found under a rotten chunk of Pine buried in several years worth of Pine needles. I make no bones about it, I don't know anything about fungi so they're probably as common as but the experts out there can let me know.

Look like desicating Hypholomas

 

perhaps H. olivaceotinctum

[Fungus]

Hypholoma olivaceotinctum

 

David,

I think you're right, as this definitely is an indigenous species on coniferous wood in New Zealand.

Well, the season to see fungi never really stops does it?

 

I am beginning to forget which threads I want to add stuff to and how to find them again. I must be more organised and add links etc.

 

Never mind, here are some fungi, I have attempted to id but please correct as you see fit:

 

1,2 and 3.Basidioradulum radula on oak

4,5 and 6 UFO-These little beauties were in an old pruning wound on a Q.robur which also appears to be host to F.hepatica

7 and 8 Rich colouring of heartwood by F.hepatica

9, 10 and 11

Oxyporus populinus

12,13 and 14 Peniophora quercina

Yeah of course, so long as you talk me through exactly what you are seeing there, please.

 

Oh, and tell me what the UFO's are.

 

Ok, after looking at it again, it's obvious about the breach into the cambium. Can you tell me more about how and why that happens?

Well now theres a thing, there are those who shall remain nameless (now several!) that would like me to refrain from talking about this (s...t hypothesis) here appears to be a number of fears represented by the responses.

 

1 being that an over reaction to trees colonised by fistulina will occur.

2 I suspect is a fear that everything they thought they knew and or was working toward is no longer going to be valid.

3 that my opinion is based on anecdotal observations and has no valid scientific evidence and therefore is not to be taken seriously and baely worth discussing.

I will post the image in my dedicated thread to this fungi and delve deeply into my views and enterpretation of the colonisation strategy and influences thread but out of respect for those who do not like my ideas I ill stress that I am about as qualified and worth listening to as a labotamised lemming ( apparently)

 

as for your ufos, mycenas?

Didn't realise we had so much in common:lol:

Hang on, I was about to say something sarcastic like"...no way, you don't know, I can't believe it...:001_tt2:"

but then I realised that would be childish and unfair as I have not collected the necessary info. to work with.

Have you seen anything like this before? Is it a fungal epiphyte or what would you call this phenomenon?

I thought it was fantastic when I saw it.
