UK Fungi

Andreas' word will be the best but I think the top one is Cantharellus cibarius, and the others all appear to be Hygrophoropsis taxa - I'm intrigued by image #3.

Some weeks back my old Yorkshire mycological colleague Jerry Cooper https://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/about/people/staff-details?id=Y29vcGVyag== was over in the UK and stayed with me for a couple of days in my Scarborough flat. We had a walk round the area noting how many NZ plants were present in ...

. . . Also interesting is his observation (from 1950) that "macroscopic direction has given way to microscopic confusion". Today it seems that microscopic direction has given way to DNA confusion. Especially good is this bit: "Not until the hyphae have been traced through their elaborate organisati...

Far too old to be certain (+ not enough features - please don't just rely on a single shot), but Pleurotus cornucopiae comes to mind . . .

PS if it's common surely there must be better examples, and see: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=49

I'm afraid my tree is infected as well. Is this fatal for the tree? Hello and welcome to UK Fungi. How old is your tree? It's survived this long hasn't it? Flippancy aside there's absolutely no need to worry . There is a huge range of fungi which colonise leaves as they approach leaf-fall, or occur...

We always recommend doing a spore print if there is any doubt. The fungus has already done that for you, leaving a purplish brown deposit on some of the caps. This would eliminate all the species you mention except, as Mike has suggested, Hypholoma fasciculare . . .

I fear this will get lost amongst the background hum, but for anyone interested in ascomycetes see: https://in-vivo-veritas.de/ and the link on to https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5SeyOEkxxZhYVZub0N1aGY5YTg When I started looking at these fungi we were lucky to have Dennis's British Ascomyce...

Hallo Andreas
Has there been any sequencing in this group?

Here is the illustration of Clavaria staminea from Corner's 1950 huge monograph on Clavaria and allies. He is reproducing the image from Cotton's original description of the species: Looks very different from Steve's fungus . . .

Hello and welcome to UK Fungi Do have a look at this thread: http://www.fungi.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=49 . Yes, apps and books can often only take you so far. One thing is they tend to feature photogenic species at their optimum appearance. You have a couple of rather old examples. Not a genus I ...

Hi
absolutely impossible to say, frankly. As you indicate that there are no fruiting bodies, just hyphae; could be any one of hundreds of species. Unfortunately you didn't even indicate what the "environment" was; if inside a building there are still lots of possible candidates.
