Tremella mesenterica parasitising Peniophora sp. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #mushroomsky #shroomscrolling

The fossil record preserves bones, not biodiversity. But extinction happens at the scale of bacteria, fungi, mosses, microfauna, parasites, soil invertebrates. Entire kingdoms of life disappear without leaving a mark.

The last crab apple still clinging on into December. #nature #tree #treeclub #photography

I've been back in the graveyard today, squatting amongst the damp moss with a pair of forceps and my macro lens trying to get the best possible photo of Atheniella delectabilis. These are truly tiny. Here are the results. #fungi #fungifriends

From this morning a beautiful bright move and a stunning December Moth in the trap.

Lathagrium auriforme is a superb jelly lichen, and quite variable. The tiny globular shiny isidia are very cool.

For #fungusFriday a trio of crusts Stereum spp. found recently adorning fallen dead branches in @wildlifebcn.org Old Sulehay Forest - Bleeding Oak Crust, Yellowing Curtain Crust and Hairy Curtain Crust. 📷🍄

I saw this beauty in the woods the other day. What even is it? I love it so much 🥺

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

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

A patchwork of #lichens on a boulder. #nature #pattern #FungiFriends #fungi

Micro worlds waiting to be seen. #small #blueskyartshow #mushroom

Crimped gill mushrooms. #fungifriends

A cluster of #small turkey tail polypore mushrooms. #FungiFriends #shroomscrolling #fungi #BlueSkyArtShow #nature

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. #nature #mushroom #shroomscrolling #FungiFriends

September sight, fallen leaves and fungi. #Nature #photography #naturephotography #EastCoastKin #fungifriends #shroomscrolling

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 ニクイボゴケの仲間かな。長野県東御市池の平 #地衣類

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) 🍄 #FungiFriends #FungiFriday #Mushrooms

Possibly witches' butter fungus but could be orange jelly spot. Found growing on gorse. #fungifriends #mycology #fungi #nature

Metacampanella subdendrophora growing on scotch broom in Pacific County, Washington. #metacampanella #mycology #macrophotography #fungi #fungifriends

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. #fungi #mycology #mycena #fungifriends

A tawny grisette mushroom. #fungi #mycology #nature

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. #fungi #fungifriends #mycology #shroomscrolling #nature #autum

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
