The Ultimate "What is this Fungi?" thread.

[dodss]

I am a retired Tree man. There is a very good site for us as Arbtalk co.uk which has a fungus ident thread and an App available for tree fungi.

Unfortunately/ fortunately I do not have an iPhone or Android device so will not be able to use the app, thanks for the link.

Completely stumped on this little chap, Found this on a cut section of fallen oak that is resting in a reed bed so this must have some brackish water tolerance?
The overall size is approximately 2.5-3cm across and with the bell shaped body I cannot find anything similar in my books.

Panus or Panellus species. Oysterling.

Thanks Geoff, I was initially looking at Crepidotus so getting close'ish.
I was reluctant to harvest this for a spore print (something I am just starting to do) as it is a single sample but may have to as part of the learning curve. This should be a white print from memory?
Have to find some black card.

 

[awarner]

Managed to do a spore print and managed to take a few more photos so wondered if it was a Peeling Oysterling but I have not seen an gelatinous covering but as this is susceptible to brackish water (the log it was attached to moved during the recent high tide) I wonder if this affects the colouring of the body and covering?

 

[Geoff Dann]

Sorry for not replying - been doing other things...

Without looking it up, it could also be Crepidotus. I'm off-duty with the fungi for now. Need to think about other things for a while.

Have a good break, it's been a busy time for you over the last year, thanks for all the advice and guidance it is appreciated.

Oysters?

 

[awarner]

Looks like it, I would love to find some just to do the spore print as it's apparently a lavender/lilac coloured spores.

Now I am certain what they are, I will be returning next season as there were a fair few. Will try a spore print too.

Don't forget always be 100% sure you know what you have especially if you intend to forage for consumption.

Just outside the lane gate I spotted something bright and golden among the leaf litter. Growing from the stump of a cut down sycamore (I think, I didn't check, there was a hawthorn taken down there too)

 

[awarner]

Can you get a shot of the underside to show the gills and stem? It could be a velvet shank.

Closest I could get was a lichen, Peltigera Canina.

I think it may be Peltigera membranacea which according to the site below Peltigera Canina can be mistaken for.

I thought fungi were fascinating but lichens will to be a challenge as well.

Is anyone able to identify these? They were given to me by a neighbour who found them on her dog walk, so I said I'd try. Can anyone help out? Or so I need to do a better picture?

Would I be right in thinking mottlegill Mushroom?

 

[nephilim]

A few more to help identify them
