I think I just about shot my load with the first four pictorals Sean, but apart from the dozens of other Fomes, Oudemansiella & Merip shots, these just about mop it up.

 

Psuedotrametes gibbosa - Lumpy bracket, on an axe cut stub of Beech

 

Emerging Meripilus giganteus fb

 

Sat back Beech stump with Meripilus - giant polypore

 

Pleurotus ostreatus - Oyster

 

Un-Id'd as yet

 

Scleroderma citrinum - common earth ball

 

Phaeomarasmius erinaceus - possibly

 

Next two with the thin stalk is un-id'd as yet - very strong smell of garlic

Carpets of them everywhere

very very nice, a kindrid spirit, big up the monkeyd,

[David Humphries]

Your too kind Sir.

 

Was the first time I'd really taken a mycological interest whilst away from these shores.

 

Struck me how similar the species range actually was.

it really isnt suprising that fungi are so globaly spread as they are spores to begin with, if you sweep the air with a net 30 thou feet up youll catch tiny spiders so aint an issue getting a spore across continents! did you notice the crack lateral forming in the old beech pollard with fommes? shame, soon be over.

 

You and me is going to have to meet up for a foray next year for certain

some holiday pics from august in scotland

thats a quality lens, and all you need is some manual focus and youll be producing some very very sweet deep clean well saturated images my dear fellow.

 

try to focus on the near edge of the fungi's rim or at the joint between stem/stipe and cap, where it meets the gills.

A pictoral fungal record of a week in the Basque.

 

Feel free to add any interesting caps, brackets or moulds you've seen on tour

Just picked up (read in Keizer) on this as also being called 'Poached Egg Gungus'

Not heard anyone call it that before.

 

Anyone else?

Can you not see the quote in my post above?

 

The bit which gives a little clue - Oudemansiella mucida

 

 

Really Tony, you've been straining those eyes of yours too much trying to pick up those furry things.

 

Should of borrowed my hightech bat spotter, the one which we used at Stav
