Calke Abbey, Derbyshire March 2011
After lunch of soup and the lovely Sussex pasties, and the excitement of photographing Coprinus pseudoradiatus in the dung, mentioned in the previous blog, we moved on. It wasn't too long before I spotted a pinkish looking fungus on a tree trunk. I think it might be Peniophora lycii. Definitely a delicate pink, encrusted but had some irregular patches.
Also found a small solitary fungus growing side-ways out of a tree trunk. Small cap no more than 2 cm diameter, mottled brown/rust colour. Uneven margin, with very wide gills and a short slightly obese stem. I cannot identify this at the moment.
Later in March I decided to move some dead leaves from a plant pot in my garden and hiding underneath were some tiny fungi. Cap no more than 2 cm, rusty brown streaked with purple, particularly at the margin.
Has a delicate rusty brown ring three quarters from the bottom of the stem. At the moment I am unsure of its identity.
All of these can be viewed on Browse 3.
Received an email from a student (Ruth Gaona), studying Biology at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse. She requested permission to use one of my photographs of Jew's Ear (Auricularia auricula-judae) for a specific project. Here is the link to this website

This is a very informative and detailed piece of work for anyone wishing to learn more about Jew's Ear.
