I would say that it was just one of the many colour forms of Trametes versicolor, Eddie.
Dave and Geoff, thanks very much.

I am attempting to make a little more sense of those encrusting types which have always confused me. So am I on the right lines with these:

Phlebia radiata ?

Hard, rubbery and very warty looking.

Schizopora paradoxa ?

Rather thin and rubbery.

Some fungi seen in north Suffolk on 9th September last year, on a verge near a belt of conifer trees. I guess the second (and perhaps the first) as a puffball, but any further i.d. would be welcome

Hi Brian.

Not sure on the first one.

Number 2 could be Lycoperdon utriforme.

Number 3 is likely to be a Lepiota/Leucoagaricus type.

Geoff.

As soon as i saw it i did think Phlebia radiata. Having checked and cross-checked guides it looks ok for that to me.

Club or Spindle-shaped cystidia might be one way to id Schizopora paradoxa although the pores do look angular and maze-like.

Thanks Dave. Shall I add the Phlebia to the Fungi Challenge?

I've got a couple more for checking so I will add them shortly.

I don't suppose you have any images of the gills of the fungi in the first photo Brian?

It is possible that the 1st photo Brian could also be a young Lepiota type.

Can any one ID this for me? It was found on dead wood on the edge of a mixed woodland next to agricultural ground. Some sort of cup fungus but can't seem to find an ID. Thanks in advance :wink:

Hi Louise.

I'm wondering if in fact it is actually the very early stages of Jew's Ear Fungus ( Auricularia auricula-judae ). I need to look at other types, possibly Peziza type ( Saprophytic cup fungi ). I'll have a look through my various field guides and get back to you.

I'm going to go with Jew's Ear, Louise. I can't see anything else that looks similar.

They can be very numerous in some years Jen but last year we only came across a couple of clumps. They are a lovely fungi with a viscous cap and contrasting darker stipe, lovely set of gills as well and they do make a very good photographic subject.
