shroomlings:If there’s something like an empire of mushrooms, this has got to be its emperor’s palace.This has got everything for a mushroom lover’s heart:- Sheathed woodtuft (Kuehneromyces mutabilis), the clustering yellow ones with the conical caps. A good, edible and common shroom.- Hypholoma capnoides (the row of whiteish ones with black streaks along the rim). Hypholoma means “mushrooms with threads” because of the thread-like veil that connects the cap to the stem when young. Remains of this “thread” stick to the rim like a row of stitches.- Psathyrella multipedata and Psathyrella piluliformis, both very common wood-rotting fungus in broadleaf woodlands, where it is found on and around the stumps of dead deciduous trees.I call them “Gollum Shrooms” because they look like the ones in the Hobbit film, y’know, when Bilbo falls down into Gollum’s cave, LOL.- Trametes gibbosa, commonly known as the lumpy bracket, is a polypore mushroom that causes a white rot. It is found on beech stumps and the dead wood of other hardwood species.They are sometimes green on their upper sides due to algae growth.- Xylaria filiformis, a small, tube or spike-like growth of blackish grey colour. It usually growns in regions above 500m and is quite rare.And I’m sure there are more in this mushroom kingdom. -- source link
