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

Hericium coralloides today from Epping on a beech stump.

[David Humphries]

Nice find

Indeed, it's a beautiful fungus.

[Kveldssanger]

Spot the odd one out of this lot! On a beech at Epping.

[David Humphries]

Perenniporia?

 

 

 

.

[Kveldssanger]

Yes but the one on the bottom left is a Ganoderma australe (most probably, if going for a species of the Ganodermas). Has snuck in on the Perenniporia party.

[David Humphries]

yeah got the Gano, but I was thinking that the Perenni was the odd one out as beech more ofetn has Gano more usually associated.

 

Nice find

Grifola frondosa associating with this big dead robinia

 

 

And a few closely associating mycorrhizals sitting on the roots of the birch next to the robinia

[Kveldssanger]

Very cool! Grifola has a wider host range than I thought. First cherry now robinia. Next you'll see it on a bleedin' Rhododendron lol.

 

Indeed, that Perenni-Gano beech was really cool. I didn't notice at first - took me a few seconds...!

Not 100% sure on this one, thought it was sparasis crispa? maybe one thats been heavily eaten by squirrels or just formed or is it something else entirely thank you very much in advance.
