Any pointers for the Mollisia species Andreas. Sorry for the initial bad spelling

Even the Mycena id by Andreas is a Red Data List so you did take samples didn't you

Hi all

I've just had the ID's confirmed by Brian:

1. Nectria episphaeria. Usual small spores characterisitic of this species. Nice material so kept as K(M)165511.
2. Lachnellula occidentalis - fairly common on dead branches of Larix.
3. Lachnellula subtilissima - fairly common, on Pinus.
4. Mollisia lividifusca - determined by Mariko Parslow. Not restricted to cones. Kept as K(M)165507.
5. M. purpureofusca accessed as K(M)165509.
and the Ciboria amentacea. Accessed as K(M)165510.

I'm well pleased over the Mycena purpureofusca

Afraid my photo skills aren't as good as FJ's,

Trying to come up with a credible gess for the myxo's
Possibly Physarum flavicomum.

Cheers J.P.

Hello J.P.,

good enough for a guess nevertheless.
Macroscopically this is exactly my idea of Mollisia cinerea ss.str. - but please note, it's just a macroscopical guess .... If you want to verify microscopically, you have to look at the spores: < 10 µm in length and without oil drops (or only very few tiny ones here and there) + KOH reaction of the paraphyses negative.

best regards,
Andreas
