I saw this beauty in the woods the other day. What even is it? I love it so much 🥺
Some kind of lichen (maybe) with green cup shapes growing on a pile of dead leaves on the forest floor.

Punctelia borreri. One of the colonies that I always check when I visit this place. Looking dark this time of year. Tokikubo, Komoro, Nagano #Lichen #FungiFriends
ハクテンゴケ。長野県小諸市鴇久保 #地衣類
Close-up of the lobe of Punctelia lichen. The lobe is round with thin brown edge. There are white raised dots, and tiny grains of white dust all over the lobe. Colony of Punctelia lichen on tree. There is a rift in the middle of the colony and therefore the colony is split into two parts. Lobes are beaten up and tattered. There are white raised dots all over the lobes.

Though I’ve only encountered it a handful of times, the aborted form of the blushing rosette (Abortiporus biennis) is among my favorite fungi! These coral-like projections are not filled with basidiospores, but instead are filled with ellipsoid to subglobose asexual chlamydospores! #Mushrooms

Snowy waxcaps, Cuphophyllus virgineus.

This is a hillside in Derbyshire with a good range of fungi species, including scarlet and crimson waxcaps, and various types of jelly fungus.

I’ve no idea what this lichen is. Ochrolechia sp. that’s trying to look like Lecanora? This one is growing on tree, and most Ochrolechia I’ve seen grow on rocks. Ikenotaira, Tomi, Nagano #Lichen #FungiFriends

Only two moths in my small actinic trap last night - both December Moth. But that's a new species for me and the garden so happy. #teammoth

A good day for mushroom sighting!

Splitgill Mushroom (Schizophyllum commune)
Purple Jellydisc (Ascocoryne sarcoides)
Crystal Brain Fungus (Myxarium nucleatum)
Common Bird's Nest Fungus (Crucibulum laeve)

Splitgill mushrooms. A cream coloured fan shaped mushroom with a rough fuzzy textured surface growing on a wet log. There is a small bright green patch of moss in the foreground on the left side of the image. A shiny pinkish-purple coral shaped mushroom growing on the rough textured surface of a wet log. A translucent, almost clear shiny blob of a jelly fungus growing in a crack on the trunk of a mossy tree. It is surrounded by green moss and pale green and white lichen. You can see small bits of green and brown debris incorporated into the jelly. Five small caramel coloured cup shaped mushrooms with small pale yellow lentil shaped fruiting bodies resting inside each of them. They are growing in damp wood ships.

Possibly witches' butter fungus but could be orange jelly spot. Found growing on gorse.

Mycena tenerrima from Pacific County, Washington. This tiny and widespread Mycena is in Mycena sect. Sacchariferae due to the powdery cap texture, stem with long setae and disc at the stem base.

Clitocybe nebularis, the clouded funnel mushroom.

Edible but not without risk. These #mushrooms cause gastric upset for 1 in 5 people, with a variable toxicity that may be related to the substrate they grow on. Best left untouched.

I've waited a lifetime to find Striated Bird's Nest fungus, and this week I've seen it twice! Also a magnificent colony of Coral Slime-mould, a troop of another slime-mould Physarum sp. with a lime-encrusted peridium and a heap of Witch's Butter. At @wildlifebcn.org Old Sulehay NR

More of this #lichen behind the tennis courts. I have started to see this type (Ramalina sp.) hanging out a lot with what I think is a teloschites sp. and i got the fanciful idea that there might be some sort of cross over. I’ll see if I can find a pic and post next to illustrate #FungiFriends
