a few to confirm ID

[kiff]

Hi All

back with a few more, all found over the last few weeks
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, round Glastonbury Tor
4, Copley wood

1, This ones Coral spot - Nectria cinnabarina


2, think this is Exidia necleata


3, sure this is Turkeytail - Trametes versicolor


4, think this could be Hypoxylon fuscum,


5, this ones Xylaria hypoxylon


6, not to sure about these two think there both Mycena's 6a could be galericulata
6a 6b

1: yes, that's correct, it's the anamorph of Nectria cinnabarina. It is called Tubercularia vulgaris
2: I don't think so, it's to big and flat for it. This one should be Exidia thuretiana or cartilaginea - if these two are to separate really ...
3: correct.
4: No, in no case, because H. fuscum always has solitary roundish tiny fruitbodies. I would think this could be Hypoxylon cohaerens, but this would have to be verified by microscopy.
5: Yes!
6: It would think the same, but without being sure. One look into the microscope and searching for the two-spored basidia would assure the thoughts - or not ...

best regards,
Andreas

The wrinkly-jelly type effect of number 2 suggests to me, Phlebia tremellosa

Hi Nick,

good idea, but I can't agree. In Phlebia the borders of the fruitbody would always be tightly appressed to the substratum and thinner then the middle of the fruitbody. In this Exidia the margins are thick and nearly free because it is not attached completely. I did look twice again on the picture after your suggestion, but I'm sure it is an Exidia, one of the two I mentioned.

best regards,
Andreas.

Knowing nothing about those two species, I will happily bow to your superior knowledge. Looking in more depth at the photo, I now see what you mean.

Cheers Andreas!

Thanks Andreas

I made a bit of a mistake looking back at my notes I had 4, down as multiforme and not fuscum but I got a bit mixed up

and the Hypoxylon fuscum was a possible for this photo


the more I'm getting in to trying to ID and learn about the fungi I have taken photo's of, the more I realise I need to collect more information about location, smell, and so on, have also been looking into usb microscopes x200 magnification but don't no if there any good for looking at spores.
