...also let me know if I should check some special tissue apart the usual spores and gill cystidia.

Hallo Schupfi, mich erinnerte der Schichtpilz an einen Stapel leckere knusprige Waffeln...owei, schon wieder Hunger! 🍽🥞

Hi,

na ja, wie haarig war denn die Oberseite. So aus der Ferne St. subtomentosum/insignitum; wenn rötend auf Eiche kommt natürlich noch St. gausapatum in Frage. Ansonsten sehe ich nicht viel Unterschiede zwischen den beiden Bildern. Bei dem 2. scheint…

Hallo Schupfi, wenn du den Pilz vor einen ruhigen Hintergrund gesetzt hättest, hätte es das Meisterfoto schlechthin werden können. Der Pilz jedenfalls ist ein Träumchen.

Platz 4?

Wow, das fühlt sich an wie ein Sieg für mich!


Ich hätte nicht zu träumen gewagt, dass dieses Foto so gut ankommt. Vor allen Dingen, wenn ich bedenke, wie es zu Stande kam...

Herzlichen Glückwunsch noch den Treppchenbesteigern.


LG Matthias

So we look forward for pictures from Malta.

I skimmed over the paper - very, very interesting and the pieces are fitting nicely together. This fungus seems quite close to Hypoxylon or Biscogniauxia anamorph, which then becomes a black stroma - the sexual state - on which the Cosmospora grows on…

Thank you xxxx


I will investigate and let you know. To tell you the whole story, I think when its life is over it deposits as a black layer on the bark, on which an interesting Cosmospora s.l. sp. (cf flavoviridis) later grows upon. I really wish to solve…

Hi Steve,
nice finding
I think you found an anamorph of a Xylariaceae, but which one I do not know.
Compare with this paper:

Hi Andreas, thanks for yr help. I have sent material to Alvarado and I can send this to him too. However if u wish to have a sample to examine under yr lens, I can send you one fruiting body. When they dry they are quite small and shrivelled so hope they…

Photos in situ....

Hi, here I am writing again about another strange fungus growing on the bark of a dead tree that I suspect is Ficus carica. First seen, it looks like a dry coral mushroom with a pale beige-ink color. It grows in tufts and then it apparently blackens out.…

Thanks, I try to stay away from FB coz I waste a lot of time, but I think everyone is running out of ideas, and maybe I should post there. However, while the fungus remains in a sterile condition, we can't expect miracles. And I don't feel like going…

It's Ok Martin don't worry, we share opinions without any regret! I was also a bit silly to think it may take 3-4 days to evaporate, but it was quicker (at 40C). Thanks for your thoughts!

Hallo Steve,

Water will evaporate out, Diffusion is just a matter of time...
But anyway you propably can't open the dish slowly enough, without creating turbulances, transporting spores inside.
Surely won't work. Sorry, silly idea of me.

Best regards, Martin

I managed to dry it with the filter paper method after sterelizing it in the microwave at 440W for 5 minutes. Maybe I am making lot of fuss for nothing because the agar dried in c. 30hrs and that is too short time for any serious contamination.


Now what…

(Zitat von KaMaMa)

That way the water can't evaporate out

Under the microscope, there is more or less the same picture of before, but what we assume that are basidioles are more wriggly (curved/flexuose).
