Washed out Amanita? and "TicTacs" for Id please

[jaybie]

Can you confirm that this is a washed out Amanita Muscaria please. Found in grass just outside the canopy of a Birch.



These were found growing on what I think is a dead Beech log, woodland is mainly beech and birch. Smaller than a TicTac but similar in shape. It would appear that they are splitting into two in some instances.




Many thanks, JohnB

Hi,

I think your "tic-tacs" are a type of slime mould.

Hi John

Yes it is a washed out Amanita Muscaria and your TicTacs are probably insect eggs.

Thanks John

The "TicTacs" were taken at Anton Stones so I will have to pop in on the way home and keep an eye on these

I think your insect egg will have matured into something like a Hemitrichia.

Only time will tell. I have so often been caught out by these!

My little peppermint tictacs have become orange tictacs



Taken this afternoon - a bit of a change. These are about 1-2mm across which I didn't mention before.

Quick visit today and the original fungi seem to have disappeared but these are on the same fallen trunk close to the original ones.

Joined up "tictacs" ...
