I tend to stick up photos of things I find on my instagram, https://www.instagram.com/ruvophoto for anyone who may be interested.

Fine collection of images Rupert.

 

Likewise, 

it's a good way to put a collection of fungal highlights together

The recent cold/wet weather is resulting in a fruiting of various Tremella species.

 

Here, T. foliacea (leafy brain) on an oak limb.

Came across these today, no idea what they are but the substrate that they are growing on was a little different

[David Humphries]

That's cool Gary, any chance you've taken one for a spore print?

[Gary Prentice]

Never gave that a thought tbh.

I’ll call back and collect a couple.

Collected some more yesterday and they have been sat there for 18 hours - nothing happening.

 

The room is very warm and the humidity is probably low. Should I be putting them somewhere else? The Fomitopsis betulina/Piptoporus betulinus isn't doing anything, nor the Gano - although thats pretty desiccated anyway.

Don’t think it’s the room temp Gary, this left a spore print overnight yesterday in a very similar environment and came in from the cold.  

 

 

Your mushroom specimens are probably just shy?

 

The brackets are just perennial and not at their sporulating stage or are just spent.

Bugger!

 

Never mind, I got my revenge by cutting some up, cross sectioning through the pore tubes to look at the hyphae (Sp?) making them up
