Good evening all. could you help me with these please.

are the white jelly like blobs the fruiting bodies of nectrina cinnabarina. ive only ever seen the orange spots before.

found a large drift of these a couple of yards long. each individual was about 1 and a half inches tall. top of lobe was flat and spade shaped. no smell no bruising. no idea

saw a few lots of these always on thin twigs about 1/4 inch thick.

dont hold out much hope of id for these!!!! obviously i know the sulphur tufts but its the two clusters in the centre. 1 looks like oak pin about 1/4 inch long pure white. but i presume the stump is a pine!! the second higher up was dark pink to purple in colour again pinhead shaped but even smaller no longer than 1/16 of an inch.
as always appreciate any help. regards tn.

The second is the largest abundance of Spathularia flavida I have ever seen in a picture. For a species that's pretty rare (especially in these numbers) you've done well.

praise indeed from one of the masters many thanks its made my day even better

However that old story about giving a monkey a paintbrush and leaving him long enough he will eventually produce a masterpice springs to mind. regards tn.

top one is Calocera pallidospathulata so two "spathules" for the price of one

middle bottom certainly looks like Cudoniella acicularis

Chris

PS where are the sulphur tufts?

This is interesting because original post says these are from pine forest, but Cudoniella acicularis as far as I'm aware, is supposedly only found on deciduous wood.

I bring this up because on a North West Fungus Group foray last Sunday, we found several similar groupings of C.acicularis which were also definitely growing on pine. - Even the experienced group members couldn't recall seeing this previously.

Regards,
Mike.

He Ho back to the monkey! wouldn't be me if i didnt get something wrong.
The proliferation of spathularia may be due to the fact that this forest is owned by the home office

and is totally unmanaged. I've only ever met 1 other person there. As always gents my thanks for your time and effort. regards tn.
