[David Humphries]

Nice shots of the Sarcoscypha Mr Wizard.

i saw it about 3 months ago but forgot i took a snap of it, it was on a bit of dead Fagus, real damp, it was in woodland conditions, first time ive ever seen it and as you can see by the grass its been there a while, looks similar to orange peel (Aleuria aurantia)

 

you seem to know you fungi did you study it?

Don't be fooled by the cloak that is the one way portal of computer interaction.

 

I have not studied Fungi, but find this site affords me the platform which is helping to develope my understanding.........that and the fact that I am very fortunate to work at a site that at times is like an open 3d encyclopedia.

 

 

 

It's all Fungi porn, my good man

Just saw a few Chanterelles last weekend near the ocean.

 

The one below is from last January when I was in north California. A big Ganoderma & our son.

 

My mushroom images are in this album:

Oh .. yeah ...

 

Long term on the ID - LOL

 

The fun for me is mainly finding different kinds. Slowly but surely, I find a name here and there.

 

It started with the Fly Agaric. That spurred me to hike slower and pay closer attention to the ground. Then I wanted to learn at least one edible, so I figured out the Chanterelle, since the underside of the cap can't be confused with other having knife-like gills.

 

Then I started looking to see how many different kinds there were in our woods.

 

It's amazing how much small autumn color is provided by fungi - like little decorations on the forest floor and stumps.
