UK Fungi

Thanks for the replies! I looked for Gyrophragmium dunalii and found several photos of a quite similar mushroom, also similar in habitat. Certainly 'something like'- which admittedly doesn't sound too close. But given the extreme habitat I would expect there to be few options. That said, in searchin...

End of April I was on Crete, and during a short visit to the beach I found this 'three-cornered hat' fungus. The 3-cornered hat stage probably means that the fruit is already decomposing, but it does so in a consistent way; I found quite few with all this 3-cornered hat structure. The few fresher on...

Yes, it looks like that - but I don't think it is. I already checked with a lichen expert, who agreed that it's most likely a non-lichenized fungus.

Dear forum,
I wonder whether someone recognizes this fungus. It was vissible as circular patches on trunks of laurel trees in the laurel forest of Tenerife. Very little could been seen at close range, but the patches strongly stand out from some distance.

Your imput is appreciated!

Dear Chris, Andreas, Thanks for your thoughts! I'm afraid I've no better pictures, I was hunting for birds (yak, but yes) and this was an encouter by accident. I looked for the white inclusions but find it hard to see them in the picture - next time I'll search for these in the field though! So, lot...

Dear forum,

Today I found some white blobs which I assume belong to some Exidia species. But I wonder what the "blackberries" are: incipient white blobs, or something else entirely?

Oh what a horror! Taxonomy sometimes is not too helpful

Thanks for the explanation though!

Thanks for your contributions!

Same in Dutch: Witches butter translates as "Heksenboter," which applies to Fuligo septica.

Exidia nigricans is "Zwarte trilzwam" in Dutch.

btw, is nigricans synonymous with glandulosa?

Dear forum,

Last Sunday, I found these black shiny mushrooms on dead Poplar trunks. I expect something like Annulohypoxylon spec., but would like to check here. Also, any chance at further ID? (Probably not )

Thanks for your input!

Dear forum, I photographed this moss massacre at an Elm trunk in the Netherlands; the moss is (I think) Orthotrichum. Fungal ID would be great, but I've also some questions about the structures. What are the white 'cussions', are the yellowish balls just old white cussions? And do the red specks hav...

OK, I'll keep cf. in the name then! Thanks.

Thanks Andreas!

That makes certainly sense, as the orange was somewhere halfway the sapstream, so could never have had caused it.
