| | | Three Fungi for ID
The first two small fungi (boletes) were growing in a meadow next to a small stream close to Beech and Sycamore.
The third was found in mixed woodland in grass and nettles.

Sure not Clavulina rugosa for the third- seems too 'lanky'! Hmm, not sure! I want to suggest it though  |

Cheers Nick, I initially thought Clavaria acuta for No. 3 but noticed that it is rare, so probably not.

medallion clamps and all that

If you ask nicely Chris, Ron may be in a position to revisit the site and collect some |

Hello,
the Clavaria is vermicularis (fragilis) for sure. In the way it grows here it is macroscopically unmistakable.
The others are for Foto 1 a Xerocomus from the chrysenteron-group and for foto 2 the same (but probably not the same species as no. 1 ....). The 2nd is already moulded by Hypomyces chrysospermum and unidentifiable in this state.
best regards,
Andreas

thanks

| Seconded. I may have to go back and double check the id of mine that I got them right . I did do a micro check, but can't now remember just what I looked at .... Actually not sure if I did on the ones I found in coniferous woodland, but I did check some found a day earlier under hawthorn/birch and might have assumed they were the same .... There is a bit of me that expects fungi to be more etiolated when in deep shade, as you get with plants, but that of course might not be applicable to fungi. Do they grow towards the light in a similar way that plants do? Do they use solar energy at all, or respond to it?.. (well I guess they do use it where it has become thermal energy, they seem to need a certain level of warmth ... ) I know they don't photosynthesize .... Quote:
