Hazel Glue (Hymenchoate ?)
Spring Hazel Cup (Encoeia furfuracea)
Wrinkled Crust (Phlebia radiata)?
Oak Tooth Crust (Radulomyces molaris)
Thanks to Anne for the id.
Witch's Butter (Exidia glandulosa) with strange warty growths and Wood Bristle-moss (Orthotrichum affine)
The white warty lumps found by James were in fact determined by Tony L to be Heteromycophaga glandulosae – a Norfolk first.
From Tony L
Heteromycophaga glandulosae. A jelly fungus parasitic on Witches Butter Exidia glandulosa (another jelly fungus) spotted by James Emerson. Only described in 1997, it has only two records on the NBN Atlas (but has been recorded elsewhere). New to Norfolk. A number of fungi are parasitic on other fungi. Ochre Cushion Trichoderma pulvinatum is common on the underside of Birch Polypores Piptoporus betulinus but Tony Moverley found an old bracket in which another parasitic fungus, Melanospora lagenaria had grown on both the Piptoporus and the Trichoderma. M. lagenaria has been previously recorded twice in Norfolk but is surprisingly little recorded elsewhere in Britain.
Flat thing with tooth like structure?
Should have looked more closely at the moss on this one.
Beautiful little Ascos - miniature turkey oak acorn cups.
From Yvonne
I got the tiny Ascos on the wood as a species of Hyaloscypha but couldn’t get any further - either the spores were the wrong size or the hairs the wrong length !
I lost my bit so couldn't do any further photography.
Apologies.
This in fact turned out to be
Lasiobelonium variegatum,
a small cup fungus on dead oak, was identified by Anne Crotty. There is one previous Norfolk record (Acle, 2015) but it is nationally rare with other records only from Cornwall and around Leicester.
Yellow disco Sp?
This became
Sulphur Disco (Bisporella sulfurina)
Flat Neckera (Neckera complanata)
Not quite
This turned out to be
Blunt Feather-moss (Hommalia trichomanoides)
Thanks to Chris P for id correction.
Little Shaggy Moss (Rhytidiadelphus loreus)
Crisped/Bruch's Pincushion (Ulotta Sp)
Leaves from Curved Silk-moss (Plagiothecium curvifolium)
Asymetrical leaves with the lovely curved edge on one side.
Glue Crust Fungus (Hymenchoate corrugata)
Netted Crust (Byssolmerulius corium)
Found on the underside of a Birch Polypore.
Growing on the Polypore. Growing on the Ochre Cushion. Growing on both. Actually an asexual part of the Ochre Cushion???
Awaiting possible confirmation.
from Tony L
The spiky fungus on the Piptoporus/Hypocrea is a Melanospora sp., almost certainly M. lagenaria (two previous Norfolk records). Ellis & Ellis Fungi on Miscellaneous Substrates give perithecia to 0.8mm diam and only slightly hairy; neck to 1.5mm long. Did anyone take a specimen to confirm? The only similar species (M. caprina) has a white wooly covering over the perithecia. E&E state that M. lagenaria is usually on Smoky Bracket & Turkeytail but I have found it on Polypore at Kelling Heath Holiday Park.
Further confirmed by Stewart
Camarographium stephensii on Bracken (Pteridium aquilinum)
Thanks to Stewart for id.
Snowy Disco (Lachnum virgineum)
Three from an Ash tree
A lichen Sp deep in a cleft in the bark.
Thanks Rob for showing me these. If you could let me know which is which it would be much appreciated.
Another fascinating day with the NFSG
Thank you all
