Fungi

[Tig]

Brilliant Aurora - thanks

I have a book on fungi but none of the photos looked like this one! I've noticed more and more different types seem to grow in our garden, or I've just become better at spotting them I find them fascinating too, I even painted a couple last winter.

Very pretty. I've noticed quite a lot of fungi around lately.

[TeeGee]

I noticed them on an old tree trunk that has been placed on a grass verge to stop people parking their vehicles on the verge!

[scarecrow]

have no idea what this Fungi is called, any idea's

[Rosefriend]

I haven't got a clue scarecrow - have you dared to eat it??

[Tig]

I think it is a russula - perhaps aurata. It depends what sort of trees are growing nearby.

Under a Sugar Maple,

[Tig]

Probably is russula aurata, a similar member of the family prefers pine.

A couple from this past week

I think this is Ear Fungus (Auricularia auricula-judae)



These look and smell like eating mushrooms but I would never risk it, there are so many that look similar I'm not sure of the name

[Ladygardener]

They do look amazing underneath don't they. You're quite right not to risk it Tig.

[theinsidegardener]

two fungi growing on a maple tree stump

[scarecrow]

need help with identification of these two please

[Rosefriend]

Well I have been through a couple of Fungi websites scarecrow, - blimey there are thousands of different and very similar varieties....no idea really...wonder if Tig, has an idea...

[Dutchy]

Your last pic looks like a clump of waxcaps scarecrow.
But then again I am not a specialist.

[Tig]

The first photo could be flammulina velutipes scarecrow

[scarecrow]

it's one of the Inkcaps, Coprinellus micaceus  Was Coprinus micaceus,  it grows on dead wood, so should not be a danger to plants

no 1/ you are right, it is Auricularia auricula-judae,
no2/ right again, it is one on the "eating mushrooms",  one of the Agaricus species, possibly A. augustus, but members of this genus are NOT all edible !
so unless you are 100% certain that any fungus is 100% safe to eat, then it is much safer to leave them where you find them, stick to the supermarket ones

these are Polyporus squamosus- Dryads Saddle, common on both dead and living trees, from summer onwards,
