I moved MykoGolfer’s post (above) into this topic from his separate individual post, as he’d titled it Fungus of the Day. For future reference, would all posters please ensure that any
Fungus of the Dayposts are directed to this specific and ongoing thread/topic only. – Otherwise we’ll end up with multitudes of separate “Fungus of the Day” topics. 
Regards,
Mike.

Not one I see that often despite it being supposedly common on fallen beech … rather like Black Bulgar that I have never found…must be looking in the wrong place

Nice image, John.
Not one I have seen. My trips to the woodland at Stornoway are not at the best time for the species.
Cheers, Chris
February 15, 2016 at 10:29 pm #33750Ellis and Ellis I says this is common on Alexanders, though there are few British records. I’ve found it on the few occasions when I have looked for it at this time of year; it is reported to occur on other members of the Apiaceae as well – the type collection was on garden parsley: (bottom of page). And of course the rusthttp://www.librifungorum.org/Image.asp?ItemID=96&ImageFileName=0360b.jpg ” class=”bbcode_url”> http://www.librifungorum.org/Image.asp?ItemID=96&ImageFileName=0360b.jpg Puccinia smyrniiwas there as well.

I think the twisted stem and cap cystidia indicate this species, together with the spores and gill edge cystidia with fine nippled tips. The “dewdrops” on the stem weren’t immediately very obvious to see. Steve

There are not many records in UK (4) but probably overlooked. I looked for the Teleomorph state but no basida or basidiospores found.

Plenty of boggy places around VC41 but this is first place I’ve seen this thanks to Emma Williams Glamorgan Fungus Group.

Nice shot Johnunfortunately this is a difficult area – Hans-Otto Baral is Europe’s Mr (or perhaps “Herr”) operculate disco man and he says he is now confused by the fungi in this species-cluster – see his comments on this thread:

Cheers
