| | | Myxos??
Came up on the back end of a conversation at Clumber where Chris Yeates was discussing this and I heard the word begining 'Pt' as in Pteradactyls used - stopped to photograph it cos I liked the look of it, got left behind (again!) and then forgot to get confirmation later? So what is it Chris? And is it time we had a sub forum for myxos?

Hi Pauline
It wasn't a mixo. It's a basidiomycete. It's the anamorph of Postia ptychogaster, growing on a coniferous log.
Perhaps that's where the discussion on pronunciation started. |

Immature Oligoporus fuliginoides was the first thing that came to mind, but I'm wracking my brain tryng to think of the actual 'Pt' word! Someone will inform us soon I hope  |

The name used by Nick is a synonym of Postia ptychogaster. The anamorph is called Ptychogaster albus. |
