Hello again,
Another fungi post from me. Also seen recently at Fingle Bridge on Dartmoor was an amazing wee fungi species growing out of what appears to be a dead nettle or bracken stem. It has the appearance of a Xylaria species. Is anyone able to recognise this?
Regards,
Andrew.  |

Hi Andrew
It's Typhula erythropus and often not seen because of it's small size!

Hi Andrew,
This is one of the Typhula sp. - but I can't be certain which one.
It has a general look of Typhula erythropus, but that one grows from a sclerotum (at the base of the stem) attached to the substrate, see:- 
Unfortunately, I can't see any signs of such sclerota, on your photo, but if you have others, or have kept the samples, and you search for info on Typhula species, you may get to a definite species ID.
Regards,
Mike. EDIT - Beaten to it by John!!!  - but both of us are suggesting T.erythropus so that's looking good.

Thanks John and Mike for helping me by narrowing it down. I do not have the specimen but hopefully one of the group has it.
Regards,
Andrew. |

I don't think there is another Typhula with the same characteristics as yours other than T erythropus.

Mal | Thanks Mal. I now feel confident enough to pass this on to the owner of the specimen without causing offence.

Andrew. |

Morning all,
Just as an update, the specimen was examined either microscopically or macroscopically and is now confirmed as Typhula erythropus. Thanks again.
Regards,
Andrew. | | |
