A european robin that followed me around while looking for interesting photography subjects.

Peltigera collina found today while walking back from the kindergarden. Since mushroom season is concluding where I live I look for interesting lichen. I can only recommend for anybody who is into mycology to investigate lichen a bit more. If you look closely the diversity is staggering!

Aleuria aurantia (orange peel fungus) I found some days ago. It was a nice opportunity to test my new macro lens.

White polypore in southern France?

Right now I’m in southern France. Seeing these fungi for the first time. Unfortunately I don’t have my books/equipment with me, so no chance for me to get an ID … Does anybody want to venture a guess of what they are? Growing right beneath a Pittosporum sp.

Find of the day for me: Pholiota squarrosa

Three rather huge clusters directly below a Picea abies. Just in time for #FungiFriday !

A large find for me: Sarcodon imbricatus

This one was around 20cm in diameter and stood out quite a bit. The spores on the other hand are comparably tiny... (Scale bar in micrograph is 25µm).

A somewhat more uncommon find here in western Norway

Two days ago I found a nice Phellodon niger, also known as black tooth. After making a spore print I thought the specimen didn't yield any, because I could hardly make them out. Turns out they are just tiny: 3-5µm! After cranking up the magnification I got a nice picture of them, too.
