    Matt, 7/10 : Armillaria mellea s.l. 11/14 : Lactarius species 15/17 + 21/23 : Laccaria proxima 18/19 + 24 : Rhodotus palmatus ?
  2. Fungus
    "Virgin" or "Snowflake" waxcap (Camarophyllus virgineus/niveus) ?
  3. Fungus
    Chris, Spore colour whitish ?
  4. Fungus
    Chris, Probably Myxarium nucleatum.
  5. Fungus
    Freezing over, hail, snow or frost, nothing seems to bother these fungi fruiting on the shortest day of the year. 1. Lyophyllum decastes 2. Hypholoma fasciculare 3/4. Gymnopilus sapineus ---
  6. Fungus
    Shots 4 and 7.
  7. Fungus
    1/2/3 : Cystoderma amianthinum + 1/2 : Mycena species to the left. 4 : probably Entoloma species (pink spores) : smell ? 5 : Laccaria laccata s.l.
  8. Fungus
    Nice one . It's nowadays assumed that both Helvella species are ectomycorrhizal generalists with broadleaved trees.
  9. Fungus
    Quite a sight . And did you notice the massive production of spores "powdering" underneath the gills of other FB's standing caps white ?
  10. Fungus
    Daniel, Your FB's are so called "Astkriecher". ---
  11. Fungus
    .
  12. Fungus
    Daniel, See my Phellinus tuberculosus thread.

    Tony, There's no documentation of P. squarrosa on Eucalyptus either.
  14. Fungus
    David, 1. By looking at the whitish spore layer on top of the lower cap fallen from the gills above in the last photo. 2. In Europe, it has (until now) never been documented from Eucalyptus, which doesn't mean it can not be found on non-coniferous species elswhere and the same goes for L. adhaerens.
  15. Fungus
    Jeff, This is a white spored Agaric, probably a Lentinus, maybe L. lepideus as it seems to have saw tooth edged gills. It probably is the same as in the first photo, only differing in colour of the caps.
  16. Fungus
    Jeff, Always first determine the spore colour. Is it rusty brown or white ?
  17. Fungus
    Mark, You'd better follow your instinct, the tree has the bark necrosis with bark throw typical of the mycelium of the necrotrophic parasitic P. schweinitzii killing living tissues at different levels of the trunk, the basal swelling or shell buckling caused by the intensive brown rot in the base and black oozing or bleeding not coming from the infection of P. schweinitzii, but probably caused by rhizomorphs of the in this case secundary necrotrophic parasitic Armillaria ostoyae also invading the living tissues and locally blocking transport.

    David, Not being ectomycorrhizal, without having an umbo, with white spores and much too robust to be an Inocybe, I think these are "dwarf" Lepista nuda.
  19. Fungus
    Tony, 1. Might be Antrodia heteromorpha or A. ramentacea : microscope. 2. Dichomitus campestris. 3. D.s. sl. 4. V.c. + P.q. + D. q. + S.g.
  20. Fungus
    Sean, There are, but X. carpophila is constricted to capules of beech and X. oxyacanthae to buried hows of Crataegus.
  21. Fungus
    Yes, the first five species mentioned do.
  22. Fungus
    Sloth, Yes, there are. Athlete's foot and fungal nailinfection are caused by Epidermophyton floccosum and Trichophyton rubrum, Candida albicans causes thrush and leukorrhea, Hypoplasma capsulatum causes histoplasmosis and psittacosis, and Trichophyton (= Tinea) tonsurans appears as ringworm on the skin, especially on the scalp (see my Encyclopaedia, page 24 or my CD-rom). And there are a lot of other skin diseases caused by fungal pathogens, that mostly occur in tropical regions. Spores of Pleurotus ostreatus can trigger asthmatic attacks and spores and hyphae of Schizophyllum commune are important agents of sinusitis and allergic broncholpulmonary mycosis and have once caused a brain abscess.

    Some other documentation of old willows pollarded the Dutch way I photographed today. 1. Veteran willow. 2. Row of old willows in the evening sun. ---
  24. Fungus
    I've seen some Salix, Populus, Robinia and Platanus fail soley due to P. squarrosa.
  25. Fungus
    Pholiota squarrosa is not saprotrophic, it's a biotrophic parasite decomposing dead wood (cellulose) to panic fruit before the tree is killed and dies.
