| |  tubaria slime mould?
This is on the cap of, I think, a fairly old Tubaria spp - is it a slime mould?
Any other thoughts?
Thanks,
Ken

Hi,
I can't see anything but a dehydrated cap of a Tubaria.
best regards,
Andreas

Hi guys,
well, thats sad!
But I can now understand why the whiteness is the same thickness as the cap, on the grounds that it is the cap! DOOOOH. 
I havent noticed this before.
Thanks both
Ken

A classic hygrophanous species. This is common with the Laccaria genus too  It's amazing how different a dry specimen can look  |

Just to support or not that original spp ID.
Or is this yet another can of worms?  Could still be either? Check the spore print and microscopy Ken? !!!
Thanks
Ken

Bound to happen Ken- as you know, the two aforementioned species can be quite difficult to tell apart. I'd quietly suggest Tubaria in this case due to the striate pileus margin, but to be honest I couldn't make an accurate ID based on the image. No doubt someone more experienced will see it as a doddle.
By the way, both genuses have hygrophanous members, further confusing identification. |

Cheers mate.
Still a puzzle then! I'll check the site again.

Chris | So are the striations in a pileus related to the number of lamellae? I did not know that. | | | |
