A few for ID/confirmation please.

Hi.

I found these this week and would appreciate ID help.

First one I've not found before but I'm fairly sure is Oudemansiella mucida



On a beech with a serious case of Ganoderma infection.

Number two, on a dead beech (I think) looks a lot like Rhodotus palmatus, but does this occur on beech?



Thirdly, this was growing in acid grassland at the side of a track, I'm thinking Cystoderma amianthinum.



Regards

Steve

hi Steve

yes to top two - Rhodotus does occur on Fagus but not commonly; the bottom one is probably correct too but you do need to be able to rule out the very similar Cystoderma jasonis (best done microscopically)

cheers

Thanks Chris,

Two (and a probable) out of three ain't bad for me.

(I don't know whether or not to admit that I was thinking Pholiota on buried wood for the third at first)

it's being able to change your mind when necessary that's the key - I recently collected a 'discomycete' that turned out to have gills when I got it home

btw the moss is Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus
