The Ultimate "What is this Fungi?" thread.

That's interesting, never seen it before, seen jelly ear though, thanks for sharing!

Going to show this one too, because it is a nice picture. No idea what it is, but that's ok too.

Hey chaps.. Thought I'd share some images of some shrooms I've encountered whilst out and about. Feel free to wade in with any insight. Some I know, most I don't. The last one I'm pretty sure is chaga, albeit a poor example. Found it in Normandy whilst exploring a very large forest there. Just realised that the last two didn't show.. I'll pop them on another post..

There you go, the chaga, or what I think it is.. Please ignore the flint, of which I was also thrilled to find.

Well some Dutch shrooms then:

Fly agarics:





Penny bun?



No idea on these ones.







Educated guesses are always welcome

Not looking for an identification, but thought I would share a jelly fungus I saw on Saturday.

I've had this identified as Neobulgaria pura now.

Sorry didn't want to pick this to look at the underside. Just looked too nice sitting where it was.

It's hard enough to tell the difference between the panther cap and the blusher when there I front of me so I am waiting on greater knowledge

Looks rather like an Oyster mushroom, but I am far from certain about it.

I'm going for Oyster mushroom, which I have seen one of those growing on a monkey puzzle tree before but if I remember right it was a branched oyster mushroom. Was ages ago and I can't remember for sure.

 

[Harvestman]

I believe that this is the False Death Cap, Amanita citrina, but I'm open to correction.

Yes. Incorrectly identified by the unbelievably-irritating "Mrs Tee" on the telly last week as something deadly.

I think it is a Veiled Oyster.

Yes, they do look lovely when they are small. Close relative of the even-prettier fly agaric. The Blusher / Amanita rubescens. Edible but only if you absolutely know what you are doing because there are several other Amanitas you can mix it up with including the deadly Panthercap and several more of unknown/dubious edibility.

Ahh, good stuff.
Not heard of those till now.

Don't see them very often. One of my customers brought one with him to a session a couple of weeks ago, so they are obviously about at the moment...
