hi

probably Schizopora paradoxa - though you are venturing on to very tricky waters with the resupinates

- I keep vowing to have a go at them (winter being a very good time for them, when there isn't much 'big stuff' about, and I've got a lot of the literature) - but they are a group for the specialist really

cheers

Chris

Thanks again Chris.

Most things are "tricky waters" for me at the moment

I was just fascinated by the form.

I mean no offence Chris, but I would have thought that for a man with a microscope like you the resupinates would be meat and drink.

I'm interested in knowing more about them. Where would you start? Which books are worth buying/borrowing?
