    Now that is first class info! great post, knew this was going to get interesting! wish i had some figures for carbon locked up in ancient forest soils to add!

    Doin it by tree type would make it too hard to find what your looking for. The best way to break it down from the start is the spore surface Gilled maze like pores others ie, sac fungi, ascomycetes etc

    this will prove an interesting thread, theres a lot of variables. Age of tree stock age of soil

    Im well in! I will start working out a way to make it easy to look up a find too, a key.
  6. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    that is a stunning idea!

    mostly a little lumix compact, cos its easy to carry around at work. Panasonic lumix DMC-FS15 to be precise, done a fair bit on slide film with a canon EOS 1NRS but havent digitised the slides as yet, its a costly business is that! looking to get a canon D5 plus macro lense and ring flash, add a trinocular microscope and then youll see some photos coming in here!

    Hold cursor over image for names, less hassle for me!

    I would say spore prints are good for id in part a small portion of the id. the main things are the anatomical features, like stipe shape stipe ring present or not, cap scales, mucus substrate colour of mycelium, cap form is very varied as are the gill plate attachments, all features to note. WAB is a forum, wild about britain, a realy and i mean really usefull site for fungi lichens and all wild things, birds ento all that jazz, well worth a look.

    :001_smile:I thought as this was going to grow into a behemoth monster of a thread I would avoid putting all these in anyone elses thread! Nothing specific, just loads of great fungi images that ive taken over the years, some Idents given, others still to be worked out, feel free to speak up if you see one without a name! For all the Myco fans, get your freak on! bay polypore The parasol Macrocystidia cucumis phelinus tuberculosus magpie inkcap

    erm, well in the interests of being PC, lets just say would be better just building a wall around the borough, say 100ft high and leaving it be!
  15. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    was that for me? cant see how i could elaborate any more!
  16. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    yep spot on mate, staff x bull terrier as shrek asked. and yes david oakman, tremella mesenterica is the "yellow brain", though as monkey pointed out there is a similar fungus, probably best to just group those two together for generality but i shall do some digging on specific Ident features, i.e if there are macroscopic as aposed to microscopic ident features. There is also a crystal brain, which I think you have shot before?
  17. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    do it on a weekend? if so i would also be up for it.
  18. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    I reckon this tree was pruned hard and suffered sun scald, Stereum wouldnt normaly cause this damage, its saprobic on the dead tissues. got any more photos? like profile etc. would help deduce the historic pruning regime?
  19. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    soon take you to a prime flat foot ground! good info on the tremmalas thanks monkey, that makes id a bitch! damn fungi!

    point taken, understood and appreciated, not hijacking, clarity is good!

    i got loads of gall shots in this wood, herts borough, see one in my gallery thats within 200yds of these brackets! pretty certain T. messenterica, not familiar with T. aurantia? got a nice t.foliacea though! i dont think the Tremmellas are limited to just one host, got a T messenterica shot growing directly out of Stereum hirsutum the other week.

    This is Buff!
  24. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Yep, thats the one paul, 1 on your list! the orange threads being as i stated the asexual stage of bulgaria iquinans! does that help?
  25. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Tony, can you elaborate on the coccinea faginata and cryptococcus fasisuga part of this equation for me? I have looked at this series of images again and there appears to be a black area on the rear of the standing stem, is this connected do you feel? The fungi that formed in the same areas as the threads and i mean literaly out of the same "holes" was bulgaria iquinans, the orange threads I am now 99% certain without science/tech confirmation are the asexual stage, in diagnosis of ill health in trees, p 102 it suggests these threads "probably spore tendrills of the saprophytic fungus Libertella faginea (anamorph of Quartanaria quarternata) or of other macroscopicaly similar fungi"
