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

[OakStag]

Hi guys! I need youre help again went for a walk and found a few i was unsure on

First two were found on the same beech presume one to be more fresh than the other type of ganoderma?

The third was found at the base of a very very large oak had about four clusters of it all well past maturity rootplate seemed to have alot more reactionary wood on tue side with the fungus. I thought maybe grifola frondosa?

fourth one was found on the tip of a piece of deadwood on a douglas fir. Absolutely boggled me.

Found on a beech any idea what species of Ganoderma?

the most coolest mushroom ive found yet and cant find any trace of what it might be even my mushroom book any idea?

 

 

once again thank you very much! [emoji2] [emoji2]

Think the first two gano's maybe pfeifferi.

Certainly looks like desiccated Grifola on the oak.

Douglas brackets look like Phaeolus schweinitzii.

The large Gano is more than likely australe.

If you can, try and get shots of flesh and pores when you take I'd shots, really helps with pinning them down.

 

Not sure on the last specimen but the gills remind me of a brittlegill (Russula species) the inverted form looks unnatural and may be due to temperature or some other interference with its normal development. What tree was it specifically near, the woodland looks mixed?

Got a little confused with this one when I first glanced it at the base of a horse chestnut on a drive by. Thought it was Collybia fusipes (bit late we thougt) so went back and had a closer look. Typical spindle shanked stem was absent and a few other things didn't look quite right. Had an inkling that it was a Psathyrella species, but I don't have a lot of experience on that set of species.

Did the spore print overnight which didn't help pin it down so asked a friend and they gave me Psthyrella spadicea (the chestnut brittle stem) New one on me and a reminder to not paint everything with the same Id brush if you're not sure.

Unlike Collybia fusipes this one appears to be wholly saprophytic. Added it as a new gallery to the fungi directory.

Nice find, there! The cap surface is certainly Psathyrella-esque, and from memory the gills brown (rust brown)/redden with maturity due to the spore colour?

A man wearing a distinctive set of overalls tells me that this is the only Psathyrella species with a light brown spore unlike all its dark brown spored cousins.

Unusually mild weather resulting in a prolonged fruiting, these large Oysters at the base of this ash are currently sporulating.

So the spore is also chestnut in colour...hah!

 

Pleurotus really is going on well. Seen plenty about, including a cheeky one on a pagoda tree at the weekend.

Well, I turned up 454 pages too late it seems. But I can go back, slowly. :-)
