I don't suppose anyone would be willing to identify a slime nmould from a photograph, but this delicious looking creation was spotted on our recent 6 May LNHS...
Dear Mick, Yes I would identify it as Enteridium lycoperdon (= Reticularia lycoperdon) based on the picture at the back of the very wonderful second edition of...
Thanks Ted, shame on me, I didn't collect the beetle, and identification from the photo has proved to be problematical as I wasn't photographing for the beetle...
Hello Mick, Having taken a look at the Myxomycete you snapped, I have my doubts in it being Enteridium lycoperdon as this tends to have a smooth surface, while...
Andy/Ted, For what it is worth, the off-the-cuff comment made by one of our party was that it was very fresh, had just settled down to fruit, and may smooth...
Hi Andy, You are right of course, Enteridium (now Reticularia) has a very smooth surface, at least whenever I have seen it. I put the appearance down to the ...
This morning I went to Chelsea to work on the Association of British Fungus Groups stand. I took with me freshly picked St. George's mushroom. He is becoming...
Hello everyone, I've put a couple of November foray dates in the foray file today - see the FILES section - with the annual Haringey jaunt and a new one in...
Strange to say it actually is a species that can be found in the London area. Head for Esher common where amazingly it is naturalized in one area of rich leaf...
Hello Ted, How are you? can't say I have come across Aseroe rubra in the London area, Esher is surrey isn't it? but it may still lurke in some awkward corner...
Hi there Andy. Yes indeed- Esher Common is in Surrey. However it is within 20 miles of St Paul's cathedral (LNHS's over generous definition of 'their' area)...
Hi Ted, Point taken on Esher. Yes I did know that Esher was one of the most recorded sites along with Bookham Common, Ruislip Woods and another site that...
At Last! The rains have come and maybe we'll get a decent fungi season after all. There's not much about at the moment but Geoffrey Kibby reckons this weather...
I have picked a few samples to help me learn what i what. I recognise a few of them but would appreciate a little help just to confirm. I feel i have a Prince...
Hi Bryce, A nice collection which certainly includes some things that I've yet to see this year. Though with the rains of the last fortnight or so, things are ...
Hello Folks. I just put a few images in a folder. Sorry about the typo on Agrocybe, my brain fused! I know the picture at the end is fairly ropey, but any...
Hi Bryce, Your Bolete is Boletus cisalpinus, not in most field guides. The intense bluing on the stem is a give away and the reddening in the cap flesh. The...
I've posted a pic of a Ganoderma found on a dead chestnut log; it looks a bit different from the ones I normally see (adspersum & appplanatum); is it? Also a...
... looks ... appplanatum); ... Hello Hilary, Your Ganoderma is most likely to be G. resinaceum it has had a very good summer/late summer this year. As for...
Thanks Andy; I suspected G resinaceum & it's a first for Ruskin park. The Inonotus is on an ash, a dead stump, & it's been there for many years, usually...
It is on an ash stump, and in other years has fruited higher up. There is a similar one on another ash tree nearby. The spores on the other one have been...
Hi Andy/Keir...... How did it go on Saturday at Hampstead Heath? I couldn't make it but was thinking about you lot. Had a look around the woods locally (Abbey...
Hi Ingrid, Yes it went fine at Hampstead on Saturday with over 40 species recorded, including some good stuff such as Hapalopilus nidulans, Rhodotus palmatus....
