I believe that lichen is a type of Fungus and so hope that I am right in posting these picture here for ID. I found on this dead tree trunk (no leaves visible) three, possibly four, different types of lichen/fungi. I think the round grey one is a squamulose lichen (Physcia grisca) but I am not sure about the others. Is it possible to ID them, please? Edited by Chris, Sep 11 2011, 12:02 PM.

Hi Chris, Lichen are in a class of their own as each one is a symbiotic organism between a specific fungus and an alga. They are extremelydifficult to d without microscopic examination .... although there are a few that can be Id by sight. Detailed macro photography can help n some cases and it is important to get god macro of the fruiting vessels. Ident of lichens is one that I keep for times when I have plenty of time on my hands so blue moon occurrence. |

Thankyou for giving such clear info. Excellent Paul :clap: Number 1 is Scleroderma verrucosum - Scaly Earthball. If you carry a small mirror and lay it on the ground under the fungus you can get a good image of the gill or pore layer that way without disturbing the specimen or having to do contortions. The mirror technique is useful for getting photos in awkward situations of plants and insects as well The only problem is remembering to take the mirror with you

2 Well done Pholiota squarrosa 3 Coprinus plicatilis 4 Have you got a photo of the upper surface of this one please, It also helps with the Polypores (bracket fungi) if you can get a close up of the pores as the shape and size of them is often diagnostic. |

Let's see if I can sort the rest...... 5 Inocybe geophylla var. lilacina - poisonous. 6 Probably Crepidotus variabilis 9( there are around 10 species of Crepidotus only distinguishable by microscopic examination though the size and location points to C. variablis. I will look at the rest a bit later Paul. |

We seem to have 2 Fungi ID threads on the go this one and also this one http://s9.zetaboards.com/Nature_uk/topic/7235325/1/?x=60#newCould they be merged perhaps else ID's could get missed or it could get very confusing .. |
