More Fungi to Identify

jennyb · #1 (**permalink**) 21-12-2008, 07:38 PM

I went out this weekend for a short time for a recce in advance of the New Years Day challenge and I found a few things that I have not a clue about (I am hopeless with brackets).

Can anyone help?

This was found on a dead branch - possibly (but not necessarily) cherry?

This again was found on dead wood but I am not sure what kind - deciduous woodland - could be oak, ash, birch?

Found on dead wood as above.

These were found under an oak tree. One of them was more than 6 inches diameter.

BTW, I did find a lot more that I can identify, but help with the above would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jenny

The two at the bottom are Collybia butyracea Jenny

Thanks, Nick. I did consider this because I found some a few months ago in my garden. However, they did not feel buttery and I was put off by the very large one. I agree that everything else seems to point to Collybia butyracea so I will bow to your superior knowledge!

Thanks,

Jenny

No1: Basidioradulum radula may be worth considering, do you know the substate.

No2: Is this the under surface of Stereum hirsutum or am i seeing it wrong.

Cheers J.P.

1) why not schizopora paradoxa?
2) -
3) stereum hirsutum
4) collybia butyracea

Far too textured a surface Jack, whereas S. paradoxa as you'll know is more of a flat sitting cushion.

and also you said that it has a habit of wrapping around the substrate

Indeed it does mate. It's the fungus equivalent of a Hippie- tree hugger

Thanks, guys. Having looked it up I agree that number 1 is likely to be Basidioradulum radula and 3 is probably stereum hirsutum.

That still leaves number 2. I have uploaded a picture zoomed out a bit to see if that helps.
