Real treat on what was The oldest Tree in Clent at NT Clent Hills NR, a 250 year old Ancient Beech tree felled by a 2023 storm. Beautiful distant spaced adnate gills of Porcelain Fungus Oudemansiella mucida, glossy Porcelain caps are pretty good too! #MushroomMonday #FungiFriday

Good Morning Mushroom People
This is Caloscypha fulgens, Spring Orange Peel Fungus. I typically find it right before or during morel season. (April-June) Looking at the edge, you can see it staining bluish green, it consumes Pine needle seedlings. It also tastes like them! With that said, it is considered an inedible mushroom so don’t eat! I find it very pretty though.

Taken at dusk on Sunday looking west across the Lagan in Belfast, while walking to see the band Duran Duran. Be advised that they are in top form live at the moment!

アオズキンタケ
今年も去年と同じところに発生。
探せば沢山いたのだが、かなり乾燥気味でしたのでちょっと成長不良。
阿寒で見るものと比べてかなり緑色が暗い感じなのだが、こちらがフィールドブックに載っているものと同じものだろう。

ルリハツタケ(低山タイプ)
今日はほとんどキノコが無かったが、最後の最後でこいつが現れてくれて思わずガッツポーズ。
しかしねぇ、3枚目をみればわかりますが、このタイプのルリハツタケは乳液が出ないんだよねぇ、、
これはつくばに送ろうかな?
Eyelash fungi, Scutellinia scutellata. Babies - not quite open yet on the left, older ones on the right.

Found quite a few of these Beroe cucumis comb jellies on the strandline last week - they looked like blobs of transparent jelly but all had a similar shape. Once floating in water some of them were still able to beat their combs and swim around #WashedUpOnRathlin
