Stumbled across this evening on a forestry track.

The monumental monograph of the Orbiliomycetes has now reached the publication stage: http://www.ascofrance.com/search_forum/64533” class=”bbcode_url”>http://www.ascofrance.com/search_forum/64533

I have been given access to an advance PDF, as a number of my collections are included, and the amount of information (and work!) is more than phenomenal. 150 Euros is of course expensive, but in line with the pro-amateur sympathies of many modern mycological experts there will be a free PDF version – in some ways more useful than a hard copy as it will be ultra-searchable.

My first success using the work has resulted in this find (confirmed by the lead author) – Orbilia dryadum:

2nd British and 1st English record, and only found as I had 40 minutes to kill before catching a train back to Huddersfield!

Out of interest I checked, and this is the 782nd of my Yorkshire Fungi “plates”, which represent 42% of the fungi I have recorded in the county (mind you I have been at it for nearly 40 years . . . )

That’s a lovely display and nicely photographed.

Only found because heavy rain in an exposed site forced me to walk back home via an unplanned route. This is separated from what would have been called Trichopeziza mollissima (=Dasyscyphus mollissimus) by microscopic characters.

Not formally named yet – provisionally Trichopeziza limonipilosa ined.
