We all crossed the road into Comer Wood. One of the first finds was Mycena rosea which caused a certain amount of discussion as it is very similar to M. pura. Looking at the literature separating the two is confusing with talk of umbos and campanulate caps. My own take on this is that if it is pink it is M. rosea, if there are lilac tints in the colour then it is M. pura. The microscopical 19th November. Leader Roy Mantle.

It is quite small, has a faint smell of aniseed and turns yellow with age. Lyophyllum connatum is a species which is found often at the grassy edges of paths in mixed woodland. The ones that we found were in just such a place. They are recognised by their tufted habit, pure white colour and unusual rubbery texture. There were a number of large tufts of this in the herbage at the side of the path. The broadleaved woodland was almost devoid of fungi but Stereum rugosum was found growing on the end of a fallen tree.

  • Diversity and Distribution of Clavarioid Fungi in Estonia
    Folia Cryptog. Estonica, Fasc. 45: 65–80 (2009) Diversity and distribution of clavarioid fungi in Estonia Anton Shiryaev Institute of Plant and Animal Ecology, Ural Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 202 8-March St. , RUS-620144 Ekaterinburg, Russia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This paper attempts to compile available data on Estonian clavarioid fungi (Basidiomycota) published between 1856 and 2006 (78 publications) and 986 herbarium specimens studied and observations. 103 species have been reported including 46 species new for Estonia. The most frequent species is Typhula erythropus, followed by Macrotyphula juncea, Typhula setipes, Clavulina cinerea, Clavariadelphus ligula, Ramaria gracilis and Typhula phacorrhiza. These constitute around 28% of all observations, but only 6.8% of all species. Twenty one species (20.6%) were collected only once, fifteen species (14.7%) twice and ten species three times (9.8%). Some species rare for whole Europe, but also for its hemiboreal zone, are also infrequently collected, like Clavaria zollingeri, Clavulina amethystina, Lentaria subcaulescens, Multiclavula mucida, Ra- maria botrytis, Ramariopsis crocea, Ramariopsis pulchella and Sparassis crispa. Rare and threatened are the old-growth habitats species like, e.g., Clavaria amoenoides, Clavaria rosea, Clavulinopsis rufipes, Clavulinopsis umbrinella, Multiclavula corynoides, Ramaria broomei and Typhula sphaeroidea. Kokkuvõte: Harikulaadsete kandseente mitmekesisus ja levik Eestis Kirjutises on kokku võetud Eesti harikuliselaadsete kandseente kohta käivad 78 trükises avaldatud andmed (1856–2006), 986 herbaareksemplari uurimise tulemused ja autori vaatlused. Eestist on leitud 103 liiki, neist 46 märgitakse siin esmakordselt. Sagedaim liik on Typhula erythropus, järgnevad Macrotyphula juncea, Typhula setipes, Clavulina cinerea, Clavariadelphus ligula, Ramaria gracilis ja Typhula phacorrhiza.

  • Clubs, Spindles, Corals and Clavarioid Fungi of the Wyre Forest John Bingham
    Wyre Forest Study Group Clubs, Spindles, Corals and Clavarioid Fungi of the Wyre Forest JOHN BINGHam A newly completed checklist for the fungi found within the Wyre Forest (see WFGS website) shows that we have some 2,177 species for the woodland sites and the immediate area. This represents an excellent number of fungi for the site and makes the forest nationally important for its fungal diversity. (Evans et al 2001). With so many species recorded it’s impossible to summarise them all, but this article looks just at the group of Clavarioid fungi that have been found. Clavarioid fungi form a distinctive but varied group unlike most other species of fungi. Typically they are spindle shaped, often branched like deer antlers and sometimes coral-like. Some jelly fungi such as Calocera Clavulina rugosa John BIngham can look similar but these species will be very gelatinous whilst Clarvarioid fungi are much drier. Other similar Clavaridelphus pistillaris Giant Club, is a rather special species are the Geoglossum and related fungi but are fungus for Wyre being quite scarce nationally. For in a different division of fungi, the Ascomycetes. a photo and note see the Wyre Forest Study Group Review 2007 (Bingham 2007). I have seen it a few times Many Clavarioid species are quite colourful and over recent years in various parts of the forest. Most range from pink, orange, yellow, grey to white. Sizes sites are under oak woodland with a weak scattering of vary considerably and some species are so small, bracken over a more acidic ground flora with Bilberry like Typhula, that they can be easily missed.

  • A New Species of Typhula with Sigmoid Spores: Typhula Suecica
    Karstenia 56: 27–38 A new species of Typhula with sigmoid spores: Typhula suecica IBAI OLARIAGA, GILLES CORRIOL, ISABEL SALCEDO and KAREN HANSEN OLARIAGA , I., CORRIOL, G., SALCEDO, I. & HANSEN, K. 2016: A new species of Typhula with sigmoid spores: Typhula suecica. – Karstenia 56: 27–38. HELSINKI. ISSN 0453–3402. The new species, Typhula suecica, is morphologically characterized by having partially sigmoid spores, projecting thick-walled stipe hairs, and by lacking clamp connections. The polygonal rind cells of the sclerotia are also diagnostic. Phylogenetic analyses of 58 new sequences of the LSU and tEF-1α regions show that specimens of T. suecica form a supported monophyletic group, deeply nested in Typhula. Typhula suecica appears to be a widely distributed but rare species that occurs on leaves of angiosperm trees (Acer, Alnus, Populus) in various types of damp forests. Material from South France, the Span- ish slope of the Pyrenees and Central Sweden is reported here.
