the unkown yellow squidge is one of the following two, T. aurantia or T T is for tremella. messenterica. to seperate one must look for spores or the mycelium that they each consume as fungal parasiters. aurantia consumes stereums, messenterica peniophoras:thumbup1:

I am seeing so much of this at the moment, it is a great fungi, brightens up an otherwise dire job that is becoming a real bind.

care to take me to the place!

Are the scarlet elfcups hallucinogenic? I saw it somewhere that they were?

According to some sources S.coccinea is edible. Not sure about the other sps. though.

Mate, if you want to travel hundreds of miles to see them I would gladly show you. If you want to do some voluntary rhodi. bashing just for the good of the woods whilst there, great!

A bad job gone wrong, nightmare.

If you ever want to come to West Wales I have an old, slightly damp caravan that you are welcome to kip in.
