More Heteromycophaga glandulosae on Exidia glandulosa. I wonder if there is there anywhere within Calderdale where these galls cannot be found?

You can just see the galls appearing.

I thought that is was my lucky day and that I had found a toothed species of fungi that could be new to me until I realised it was just a Piptoporus betulinus. It was a very convincing look-alike though.
And I've yet to find it! Not that I've done much foraying recently. Must make time to look for it before it disappears
ReplyDeleteThat is a strange form or stage of Piptoporus.
Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteIt's not hard to find the H. glandulosae - get your fungi head on :-D
Regarding the B. Betulinus, it is due to weathering and it can happen in a variety of porous species such as Trametes, though the textbooks don't tell you that!
