No. 6


From FAN and the spore size (5.5) 5.8-6.7(6.9) x (3.3) 3.7-4.5 (4.7)um, ratio (1.3) 1.35-1.73 (1.8), this appears to be Tricholoma terreum.

No. 18
Strobilurus esculentus

It was growing from a Scots Pine cone and the gill edge cystidia were very boring, not encrusted. Though the spores seem significantly smaller than the quoted size ....


No. 24
Hygrocybe marchii, maybe .....
These red ones give me a lot of grief ... well it fits Hygrocybe marchii spot on ... so its details are now filed away with the others that also fit H marchii better than H coccinea from that site, for later evaluation ...




No. 27
Hygrocybe splendidissima, maybe ... these also give me grief ... spores are spot on, it's developing a strong honey smell as it dries, but smells of nothing much when fresh, but the only thing that doesn't seem to match is the pileipellis, with these it always looks like a trichoderm not a cutis, and on this particular one the stem looks like a trichoderm too ... so its details are now filed away with the others just like it, for later evaluation, next to the pile of those that look like H coccinea ...

You certainly had some very nice finds Melanie.

We have H. coccinea growing almost all year by the lake at Clumber Park. It really is quite a species.

Oh no, I'd hoped they'd quit fruiting soon on my patch so I can go and investigate some other things! Like birds ...

Thanks Nick. I'll check it out. I didn't take a sample this time as I knew I had enough to deal with, and it looked as it wasn't going to disappear in a big hurry .... if only those Hygrocybe coccinea and relatives would pack it in for a few weeks I might get a chance ...

Send them packing down to Norfolk Mel

All right I know it is not the 1st but its the first foray of the year for me. Not quite up to the standard of others but a couple of hours produced
Phlebia tremellosa
Fomes fomentarius
Phellinus igniarius
Stereum hirsutum
Stereum rugosum
Pleurotus ostreatus
Flammulina velutipes
Mycena galericulata
Hypholoma fasciculare
Tremella mesenterica
Ascocoryne sarcoides
Xylaria hypoxylon
Piptoporus betulinus
Daedaleopsis confragosa
Chondrostereum purpureum
Schizopora paradoxa
Lycoperdon perlatum
Baeospora myosura
a small Mycena which had really interesting microscopic features but it was too far gone to be sure so unfortunately goes down as a Mycena sp.
one don't know
and a final one which I think is Chondrostereum pupureum but looked so different to the C. p which I did recognise.

I agree thats C. purpureum - but that is so weird

Hi,

sorry, but I cannot resist: We have to withdraw you three to a total of 62 then, because the Immature Myxomycete_DSC4381_m.JPG and the Tapesia fusca belongs in the zoology
The unidentified_species_DSC4482 is a velvet shank, so this one is double.

But finding more then 60 soecies in such condition is a thing to applause! So I hope you don't blame me for this correcting, it's just a note from a jealouse one sitting here at -25° last week and warming his hands in the fridge :-((

The Mycena cf. stylobates is very very likely to be Mycena adscendens.

best regards,
Andreas

I can’t believe I completely overlooked the coral spot

We didn't get it that cold, but cold enough, -7°, but the good news is (having just been to my local patch and not expecting much), that after 2 days of mild weather there's quite a bit of new stuff coming through ... and on stalks too ...

No problem at all Andreas

The thought of -25° C makes me shiver

It was relatively mild on the day ... 5° C and the sun almost showed itself at one stage! I did also have the advantage of knowing the area and habitats quite well, which always helps.

Best Wishes and I hope it gets a little warmer for you.
