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

The font of all fungal knowledge

 

 

 

 

Here's your coat sir !

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't rank Wikipedia for such things, though thought I'd raise the point as evidently that article is wrong.

 

Paul was down today with the Arbotom and I had an apprentice with me (I drive him home some days) who had to carry with him 5kg of chicken, so I couldn't resist the opportunity to be childish!

How many trees did you two manage to get the tomagram on?

Four. A douglas fir with Phaeolus, that horse chestnut with Kretz, a willow with a lovely crack and two D. confragosa sporophores, and a Prunus sp. with Ganoderma sp. Once Paul gets over some of the cross-sections I'll sort out some photos.

[David Humphries]

Sounds good, look forward to seeing them.

Indeed. Got to arrange for the trees to be felled now at the necessary heights, though I'll share some photos from today prior to that. Props to Paul, might I add - great guy, and that's an expensive piece of kit he has. Enjoyable day, and seemingly so for members of the public as well, who were quite drawn to the Arbotom!

[David Humphries]

Got the nod from our ecologist to a rarity he stumbled across.

 

Sarcoscypha austriaca- the Scarlet Elf Cap

How polite of those leaves to reveal the fungus!

[David Humphries]

Not polite, they're trained !

That's some dryad-level magic!
