Marty'sMarshWasp161022-3

Marty'sMarshWasp161022-2

Possible similar to the galls seen at Wheatfen.recently, created by the wasp (Andricus Quercuscorticis)

Stewart suggested that the wasps attack the trees when they are first damaged and the wood is a little easier to penetrate.

These examples are much more worn and therefore older.

Marty'sMarshBlue161022-1a

A small blue fungus found of Gypsywort (Lycopus europaeus) stems

from Tony

I reckon that those lovely tiny green cups on decaying Gypswort (Lycopus europaeus) stems
are likely to be
Lachnum aeruginellum (synonym Chlorociboria aeruginella); only 5 records in
FRDBI and would be new for Norfolk. There are some images of microscopy attached to
Marcus Yeo’s record in May 2022 (
FRDBI). I managed to find and measure a spore (I think) . .
.separating asci & hairs from hyphae is tricky…

From Stewart

I think the Chlorociboria is my favourite fungus of the year so far. Thanks Tony for doing the microscopy. There are 2 records on the Norfolk Mycota (as Lachnum aeruginellum) from Wheatfen. I wonder if this is truly scarce or not, It doesn't seem like the kind of thing that would be overlooked, but I guess it wasn't very big. Mike's Pronectria on the dead lichen will be new for Norfolk I think. These are most certainly overlooked, so that was well spotted.
