Interesting that the substrate influences the protein content of the mycelium so much!

And finally, a family of - you guessed it - more Tubaria furfuracea growing on a moss-covered fallen branch. The stern grandmother on the left, the cowering grandchildren on the right.

A cluster of velvet shanks (Flammulina velutipes) growing up the sawn-off side of a tree trunk, all shiny like they just had their Sunday bath. Don't you just love that colour?

Another totally tedious tubaria (Tubaria furfuracea) being drop dead gorgeous as far as I'm concerned. Fungi are never tedious!

This Tubaria fufuracea (aka little brown mushroom) stood out against the moss.

Trying desperately to find that witches' butter I saw last week, I paid too little attention to other fungi yesterday. And I didn't find that buttery treasure anyway 😭
So here's some stuff I did manage to shoot. First this bracket fungus in symbiosis with some algae; a green symphony. #fungifriends
Great flat bracket fungus (Ganoderma lipsiense) on the side of a decaying tree trunk, all green with algae.

2026 is proving to be a wonderful year for first time fungi finds so far. Looks like this is the rarely recorded Henningsomyces candidus - tiny little macaroni-like tubes found on a very rotten piece of wood in Southeast England. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology

Found some stinks!
#fungifriends #mushroom #stinkhorn
An orange fungus with a texture like a packing peanut and shaped like conjoined muppet fingers. An orange fungus that looks like the combination of a hollowed out clementine and a large dog's nose. It is nestled so sweetly next to a log. A spongy orange mushroom like two fingers emerging from the ground clutching a wad of brown goo. It looks like the hand of a Muppet clawing its way out of Hell.

Venus of Jacksondorf 😉

#FungiFriends #Venus
rather large and womanly-shaped fruiting body of Russula brevipes (I think) This color photo shows a white person's hand on the lower left holding a large white-stemmed mushroom with an upflung pale beige cap and gills. There is a groove at the bottom of the stipe which splits the stipe into chonky thighs and groin, in a very Venus/womanly shape. There is redwood and for duff attached with the mycelium at the bottom of the stem where the person's thumb rests. The background is mostly out of focus, but shows sun-dappled forest including smaller trees, some salad shrubs and lots of silvery lichen-covered broken twigs and sticks mixed in with the brown duff.

Molds are so pretty #fungi #fungifriends
Magnified view of immature mold on the blue background of agar plate. Thin bright white threads rise like unruly tufts of rushes, adorned with snowflakes-like immature spores in white.
