Mycena roseilignicola. Appearing on same stump of Glochidion harveyanum as they reliably have over the past three wet seasons. Caps in this group to 2.5 cm. My block.
Mycena roseilignicola. Unusually wet September has brought quite a few different species up on my block including these.
Largest cap 3 cm.
Aseroe arachnoidea. After a gap of over 3 yrs. these have appeared again on my block. This was one of only five to appear this year. In Feb. & March 2013 approx. 100 appeared & were the first to be officially photographed in Australia.
Cymatoderma elegans. 9 cm across. Same fungus as No.808 alongside on my photostream but photographed 3 weeks later.
My block.
Lycogala epidendrum. One of several different colourations of this Slime Mould. Common. Largest is 5-6 mm across. My block.
Mycorrhaphoides sp. A very similar fungus [ Mycorrhaphoides stalpersii] has only recently been discovered in India. These have a growth habit similar to Podoserpula pusio in that they form a pagoda-like structure of multi-tiered brackets growing from a central stipe. These along with several others are growing on the root system of a dead Planchonella obovoidea [Black ash, Yellow teak] tree. I used to collect many seeds from this tree during the 1980's & 1990's when I was deeply involved in reforestation of hillslopes. Top of left hand specimen is 11.5 cm across. Height approx. 16 -17 cm. My block.
Leucocoprinus fragilissimus. Caps in this group to 4 cm. Can reach at least 7.5 cm. One of the first species to appear when the "wet" is happening. Very common. Dead leaves are from a mango tree on edge of rainforest.
My block.
Hygrocybe sp. One of a group to pop up on my lawn. Dug this one up for this shot with a black background to show how green this species is. Cap is 1.3 cm across. Refer to tag "Hygrocybe 15 " to view others of the same species. My block.
Lentinus crinitus. Note two caps coming off the one stipe. Doesn't happen very often. 35 mm rain over 4 days brought these up. I've added the tag "Fungi doubleheader " so that if you click your "mouse" on it you can see other doubleheaders that I have found. Largest cap 2.5 cm. My block.
Cyptotrama asprata. Immature specimens. Each cap measures 8 mm across. This is one of three images taken over 5 days showing its progress. This is DAY 1. My block. Refer to tag "Before & after No.3" on my tags.
Hygrocybe sp. Caps 1-1.5 cm. Of approx. 20 found the largest cap was 1.8 cm. These are one good reason that I check my lawn before mowing. My block.
Mycena sp. Tiny, caps 2-3 mm. Mostly occur on inside of bark that has detached itself from a dead branch or log during wet periods.
My block.
Coprinopsis sp. on decaying palm fronds & twigs. Caps to 2 cm.
This particular Coprinopsis is usually on logs that are in the final stage of rotting down. It differs from other Coprinopsis in having a very shaggy stipe. Refer to tag "Coprinopsis sp. 13" to see others of this particular species. My block.
Microporus xanthopus. Most caps 4-6 cm in this group. Can be a lot larger. Extremely common. My block.
Aseroe arachnoidea. One left over from 8 years ago when I first found them amongst horse dung under some fruit trees. Images of these are extremely rare. My block.
Marasmius sp. Collected by mycologist. This grey species is usually scarce but this season has been prolific on dead palm fronds & dead ginger leaves. Caps to 1 cm in this group. My block.
I.D.'d as Marasmius nigrobrunneus by mycologist Fran Guard [ Oct. 2023].
Lycogala epidendrum. A Slime mould. On rotting log of Alphitonia petrei. Reddish coloured, very small, much smaller than a matchhead. Later in the day these changed to a chocolate brown colour. My block.
