mistletoe
François Lambert:
OK, i went to the park and found already some fruits on the soil and picked these, but apparently that is still too early :-(
They are from a mistletoe growing on an old & almost dead apple tree.
Anyway, I go regularly the park to walk with the dog, so I will check towards the end of March if there are any fruits on the soil. As you can see on the pic; close to this apple tree there are big linden trees covered with mistletoe, so there should be a good chance to find fruits there later this spring.
Catwheazle:
Oh, great :-) Many thanks ... also for the picture ;D

Apart from the date indication, can someone tell me what colour the seed are when ripe. I found a lot on the ground under a local tree. All very sticky of course but the seed are more green than brown. If I go back later any will be more difficult to find when the undergrowth has increased. Does the size of the seed tell me anything?
Another surprise was an Earth Star fungus in amongst them. That would have seemed a little out of season too for me? Must go back with a camera.
Catwheazle:
thanks to all for their help :-)

Amazing - I've not seen it at the germinating stage before.
