| |  two twiggies
Hi everyone,
grateful for help (indeed, confirmation!) with these two please. 
1/ this in abundance on rotting twigs under brush cover, Crepidotus variabilis? 
2/ This was on just one twig again under brush cover - appears similar to Rustroemia firma in Jordan - short stipe flat to cup shaped cap, appears darker at the cup edge. unsure of wood, possibly birch, cherry or hawthorn. 
Cheers
Ken

hi Ken
this could have gone on the pick-up sticks thread 
I would tend to agree with the Rutstroemia, could the twig have been Quercus? it looks like it and that would figure although this fungus does occur on other substrates . . .
there are too many Crepidotus species to be sure which one without microscopy - it could be C. cesatii for example; you can see some spores on the gills so I think you are correct with Crepidotus but there's a surprisingly large number of 'crepidotoid' genera
cheers
Chris

Hi Chris, yes, should have gone on pick up sticks, forgot.......
And Oak spp are common there in the mixed woodland, so that sounds a good ID - happy with crepidotus spp too, that will do me for now. 
Many thanks again,
Ken
PS some interesting stuff today from dovestones and its conifer woods, so will post when I can after initial ID attempts!

harrumph! - must organise a meet sometime . . . .
