    Again, wrong colour of gills (yellowish) and spores (rusty brown).

    Definitely not, totally different species : Pholiota aurivella or Pholiota aurivella and Pholiota lucifera.

    ... it said : I already suggested that, though the colour of the gills and spores doesn't look right.

    Disagree ? You suggested a Pholiota and I didn't say it was P. populnea, I just said it was the only Pholiota looking a bit like these specimen. I already suggested that, though the colour of the gills and the spores doesn't look right.

    No, they're only functioning as part of the strategy of old or sick (Meripilus) beeches to invest in their own seedlings before the tree slowly dies amidst its own offspring and is recycled and re-invested in the tree species specific food chain.

    Tony, The only Pholiota looking like this is P. populnea, which is tree species specific to Populus.

    Don't know, as I've never seen it on Quercus before. In (pollarded) Populus and Salix it's a fast white rotter (further) hollowing the trunk. But looking at the second photo, I wonder whether it could be Gymnopilus junonius instead.

    ... is M. (rachodes var.) olivieri, specialising in decomposing litter of coniferous trees.

    David & Simon, Are these weeping willows too ? Tomorrow, I'll make some photo's of the lesions and cracks, that are already there.

    Arbgirl, With tobacco brown spores ? If so, Agrocybe cylindracea (= A. aegerita), a species seldom found on other tree species than poplar or willow, so not that bleedin' obvious .

    The pollarding was not done by me and not at my request (I'm a mycologist and forest ecologist, not an arborist), but by arborists of the town council. I show the pictures, because I totally disagree with this kind of pollarding, because - as you already stated - within some years (part of) the crowns of the willows will (again) collaps, as there's a lot of damage (lesions, cracks) in the remaining limbs making them incapable of holding up the extra weight of the sprouting, far outstretching and hanging down branches and twigs.

    Rob, 1. See my MTA case study on the relationship between adventitious beech rootlets and Laccaria amethystina. The rootlets don't contribute to the stability of the tree, they just "feed" the old tree to develop new foliage and start up seedlings with the aid of L. amethystina attached to the rootlets and "nursing" the roots of the young tree with its mycelium as an intermediate between the "mother" tree and its offspring (also see my Beech & Laccaria amethystina thread). 2. Yes, in the case of beeches temporarely loosing their central crown foliage, the moss develops at the base of the trunk, because of rain running down the trunk and light falling on the ground surrounding the tree base.

    David, The descriptions are from page 245 of my Encyclopaedia and are also on my CD-rom.

    S. aeruginosa : gills whitish pink to lilac-brown with white (sterile) edge, ring striate, fibrillose-membranous, turning brown by the ripened spores S. caerulea (= S. cyanea) : gills pale reddish brown to dark brown without white edge, ring imperfect, often disappearing

    1. Ramaria cf. stricta 2. Mycena galericulata

    See Pollarding of two Dutch weeping willows.
  17. Fungus
    Today, the weeping willow, that lost a major part of its crown was pollarded (first photo) and the crown of one of the other willows with less damage was heavily reduced too (second photo with first willow left in the background). ---

    Andy, Long stalked Pleurotus ostreatus developed in the dark.

    1. Not the Verdigris Agaric, but Stropharia caerulea 2. Fly Agaric + Clitocybe nebularis

    Xerocomus (= Boletus) subtomentosus ?

    Mystery fungi

    Fungus replied to sloth's topic in Fungi Pictures

    Sloth, Polyporus squamosus ?
  22. Fungus
    It would, Agaricus bitorquis is capable of breaking through tarmac and surfacing with asphalt on top and A. geesterani can lift big lumps of soil or heavy paving stones.
  23. Fungus
    It doesn't look like A. ostoyae or C. fusipes either, so without further information (photo's) on the gills, stem, smell, exact spore colour, etc. it's impossible to identify this fungus by one photo's alone.
  24. Fungus
    David, How about Hemimycena cucullata ?
  25. Fungus
    1/11) Lepista flaccida 2) Mycena flavoalba ? 3/10) Collybia butyracea 4) Clavulinopsis cf. helveola 5/6) Galerina species (orange brown spores) or Mycena aurantiomarginata (white spores) Clavulinopsis cf. fusiformis 7) Tricholoma species ? 8/9) Xerocomus (= Boletus) rubellus ? 12) Russula cf. ochroleuca 13) Agaricus species
