It is the time of year here where the fungi are beginning to emerge.
Here is todays offering
1 Tylopilus formosus a New Zealand bolete found in beech (Nothofagus) forests.
2 Russula sp
3 Cortinarius sp
4 Unidentified
-
David, I like the bolete very much! It is very different from those growing here like Boletus edulis. Is yours edible?
-
Hello Trond,
It is not edible. It is quite woody and is reputed to be bitter.
Here is another fungus that is always eye-catching Cortinarius porphyroideus (syn Thaxterogaster porphyreus = Thaxter's purple stomach). These secotioid fungi were originally thought to form a natural group until it was realised the secotioid or pouched form arose independently in different lineages. So Dr Thaxter's colourful stomach is no longer celebrated by mycologists.
-
David, I could be tempted to grow colourfull mushrooms in stead of plants! Maybe they would like the humid climate here!

You would have to grow the southern beech trees (Nothofagus) as well. We are getting huge crops of Amanita muscaria associated with introduced conifers; everyone with a digital camera is out taking pictures of them and they appear in photographic competitions every year. I am resisting the temptation.
The New Zealend fungal foray will be held in Riverton ( southern coast of South Island ) in May. I will be attending and hopefully will get some good photos
-
I already have some Nothofagus species in the garden ;)
I also have several Amanita species but not muscaria. However it is quite common here.
I once read that different species of fungi were deliberately spread in conifer plantations to enhance growth everywhere in the former British Empire and specifically in East Africa where European species were grown.

Hoy - Which Nothofagus species are hardy for you?
johnw
I have only South American species and none from New Zealand. Have to mend that!
The first one i planted was N. antarctica and I still have it. It is rather common around here and fully hardy. I also have a small tree somewhat similar to antarctica but the leaves are much bigger and the tree is much smaller and not upright. I have also tried obliqua and dombeyi but they froze in the very cold winter 2 years ago - I am not sure I have any left. Now I have small plants of macrocarpa but haven't tried it outside yet.
I know pumilio is very promising and seems to be a better garden tree and hardier than antarctica. It is grown some places although I don't have it.
-
Here is a rather striking coral fungus I found today near Dunedin. I will be attending the NZ Fungal foray next week so may have some more pictures then.
-
David, are all NZ mushrooms of the violet color? :o Fantastic!
My son's yesterday spoil (Gyromitra esculenta).

Oh! Not even well cooked would I eat false morels :o :-X
-
Maggi, I've eaten them every year since my childhood. May be that's why I am so strange? :o ;D
I ate them yesterday, I ate them today morning. I am OK as usual. :)
-
Illegal to sell in some countries I believe. :o :o If prepared incorrectly they can be fatal!
I'll stick with my Ceps. ;D ;D. Although I would love to know more about edible fungi.
Very interesting post Olga, showing the difference in attitude between different cultures. :)

Happily, Olga, this tells us that you know what you are doing... and you are a good cook!
-
Illegal to sell in some countries I believe.
Why?
If prepared incorrectly they can be fatal!
We boil them three times changing water. Next fry with onions and cream.
Of course I do not let anybody to do the same and eat the mushroom. :) It's tasty but nothing special, similar to most other mushrooms taste.
Very interesting post Olga, showing the difference in attitude between different cultures. :)
Yes. :)
Happily, Olga, this tells us that you know what you are doing... and you are a good cook!
Maggi, I was poisoned by a deadly mushroom 20 years ago. I was very lucky ate only 1 piece. Now I am very careful with fungi.
-
Why? - because it may be fatal if eaten raw or wrongly cooked, apparently. Seems many poisoning cases are reported annually in Scandanavia and Eastern Europe.
You know better than me though Olga. Obviously the gathering and eating of these is part of your heritage. ;) :) :)

We have had a discussion on this theme in Norway now http://www.biologforeningen.org/enbiolog/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=23350&whichpage=2 (http://www.biologforeningen.org/enbiolog/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=23350&whichpage=2)
Some eat it and some don't. I've never tried it although it grows in my garden.
-

Very striking indeed, David! I've seen yellow, orange, yellow and red, white and similar colours but never blue :o
-
I remember in the 80s attending a talk at the local botanical club here given by Olav Gjærevoll, who was the world's first environmental minister (and botanist). He told us that he had eaten so much False Morels during the last war and afterwards that the next time could be fatal (he believed that the poison built up in the liver). That put me off!
-
Hello Olga,
I was very interested in reading your post on Gyromitra esculenta and you comments on its edibility. We have a very similar species here in New Zealand, Gyromitra tasmanica, which my reference catergorically states as being poisonous. I dont know if anyone has ever tried eating it as presumeably it contains the same toxin, hydrazine, as the European species and could be rendered safe in a similar manner. The violet coral fungus I posted is an undescribed species of Ramaria.
Trond,
Coral fungi are plentiful here and can be white orange, yellow or sometimes a muddy purple. The violet one is fairly exceptional. Most people tell me to go away when I ask for an identification of any from this group.
-
Here is a selection of some of the fungi that we found on the 25th New Zealand Fugal Foray last week. We were based at Riverton which is on the southern coast of the South Island just to the west of Invercargill. We collected on the Longwood Range, Lake Hauroko, Lake Monowai and the Kepler Track at Rainbow Reach. The group contains both professional and amatuer mycologists. This year we had a visitor from the New York Botanic Gardens amongst our number who was an expert on boletes. So I will start with a couple of boletes.
1,2 Chalciporus piperatus an exotic bolete that seems to be associated with Amanita muscaria another exotic that is abundant here. The Amanita seems to be moving into native Nothofagus forest which was where I found this specimen.
3. Austroboletus lacunosus a NZ native associated with Nothofagus - this is the first time I have seen this species
4. Cortinarius cretax associated with Nothofagus.
5. Gallacea scleroderma a purple, truffle-like fungus found under Nothofagus
6. A coral fungus, Artomyces turgidus
7. Cantharellus wellingtonensis
8, 9 Clitocybe nothofaginea
10 Weraroa virescens, a saprophyte

David
re: 5. Gallacea scleroderma a purple, truffle-like fungus found under Nothofagus
The leaves surrounding the fungus, they look like N. antarctica leaves or is there a similar NZ species?
johnw
-
A nice collection, David!
Is the Cantharellus edible and tasting as good as C cibarius (the common one here)?
The purple "truffle" is strange. Did you have to dig for it or do they grow like that?
I just read they had done some DNA tests on the previous 9 "known" species of coral fungi here in Norway. Now we have 35 species!
-
John,
The leaves with toothed margins are from silver beech (Nothofagus menziesii) and the leaves with smooth margins are from mountain beech (Nothofagus solandri var cliffortiodes). The other beech found in the area is red beech, Nothofagus fusca, but it is less common being found on warmer better-drained sites.
Trond,
I have no idea as to the edibility or otherwise of the Cantharellus; however the individual caps are quite small. The Gallacea is as it was found on the surface.
I am not surprised that DNA sequencing has revealed a lot of diversity in Norwegian coral fungi. The truffle like fungi found in New Zealand are quite diverse and do not form a natural group arising independently from multipe genera. Nothilepiota = bolete, Thaxterogaster= Cortinarius, Macowanites = Russula
-
Thanks David. I love the Nothofagus. Too bad we can only grow N. antarctica, a gem though and does well in wet soils and seems to love wind. Several notable ones about and have always missed the seed when ripe.

Apparently, there's a new, fruity-smelling fungus, which looks and acts more like a sponge than a mushroom, that has been found in the jungles of Borneo. Its scientific name is Spongiforma squarepantsii. 8)

Hi!
First this year's Leccicinum scabrum from my garden:

Weird and wonderful Davey, 8)
Are these from your garden, or somewhere nearby?
I think the first one is Polyporus squamosa, as most likely is the second ( an older fruiting body ),
the third a Bolbitius sp, possibly titubans ( perhaps too early for this though ).
Seems you have a very active Fungi group in your area, with a very nice homepage

Thanks for the id Ron i am new to fungi,i just think they are so lovely looking and would to learn more so thank you for the link as well.These were in a wood i go to photograph local orchids.
-
I wish I knew more about them also Davey ::) ??? The second one you show has me completely stumped, although it really shouldn't as its by far the most obvious, ::). I just cannot seem to get it to key out, :-[ :-[.
Garlic mushrooms with dinner tonight ;D
-
Are there varieties of fungus in the UK that display the marvelous lilac and purple shades that David L. shows us from NZ?
-
Here some Octopus fungi (Anthurus archerii ) from my area :
-
They are definitely scary - I wouldn't want to meet them on a dark night. :o Good photos though.
I hope Maggi doesn't view these pictures.... ;)
-
I already did! Yes, those are frightening looking "creatures"... never seen such a thing before and they are quite fascinating.
I had just been enjoying Gerd's lovely, peaceful wildflower fields ( http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=9248.msg250416#msg250416 (http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=9248.msg250416#msg250416) ) and thinking how fine the red poppies look, then I came upon these scary fungi - Nothing if not a contrast! :D
-
Spotted this colourful slime fungus when orchid hunting on Saturday.
-
Yesterday this was seen for the very first time it's
Helvella lacunosa Black fluted elfin saddle fungus and Ron if cooked well it is edible ;D

I've seen patches of Roma's slime fungus in the 50cm pile of woodchips on my driveway. The chips are some Cupressus macrocarpa and a few other odds and ends which were cut down 2 or 3 months ago and when I dig into the pile, as I did yesterday to load some on a barrow, the moisture was very slimy too, a mixture of rain and the resin from the conifer. That cm is cubic metres not centimetres!
-
I find all these fungi fascinating, despite that I can't identify any of the ones I see!
NB. cm = centimeter
Abbreviations for "cubic meter" are m3, cu. m, etc..
-
Yeah, right, not up to much right now.

Great call Hoy! It must be a Hygrocybe sp. And for me that is well close enough. Thanks ;D ;D ;D

We found this enormous fungus at a slope in the Ligurian Alps this year in June
and would be grateful for identification by the experts.

it is a "Riesenbovist" :

In English this fungi is called a Giant Puffball - Calvatia gigantea
Marvelous things - the young ones look like someone has left bread dough to rise and then they look a bit like brains, decaying to a fairly messy end! When they are young and pure white all the way through, they are edible.
-
They are in my opinion, not very good. They feel a bit of foam to cut in. But cool to see in nature.
-
I've seen giant puff balls on an old manure heap near Dunblane. Several, each over 20 cm in diameter! I've eaten the smaller puff balls. Tastes very like omelette.
-
When they are young
They feel a bit of foam
That means they are not young Ulla. When they are young they are dense and elastic. We found a big one up to 30 cm in my childhood. Very tasty fried with onions and fragrant sunflower oil. :)
-
Olga, your description of the texture of the fungus is better than mine. The fungi that I've eaten has been completely white straight through.

Maggi, Calvatia gigantea don't have the reticulate skin like this, as far as I know.

Thanks, Trond,
I thought all the puffballs could have reticulated skins at some point in their development.

Dear friends,
Many thanks for the quick identification.
Hans, I had no tape measure with me, but think, that the fungus was about
20 cm in length.
Wish I could find some time a truffle with this dimensions!

But where are the flies? . . . you have to collect those for Xmas decorations!
There are two theories, well worth Googling, as to why they are called Fly Agaric.
Really?? .... Xmas decorations !! please explain further Hoy. :)
Can anyone point to any corroboration that the 'Norse raiders to these shores' sent the Beserkers to the for in battle because they thought they were immortal due to the effects of this Fungi??? :o :o :o

Not strictly corroboration, Ron, but I've heard similar tales about gangs from rival football teams..........

The Norwegian name means the same: Fluesopp. So it is not to lure the flies but the contrary ;)
It's much used as an ornamental at Xmas - not the real toadstool however but artistic copies:

I've seen freeze dried real toadstools - they're fine but I've never tried myself.
The berserks never used fly agaric but some Siberian tribes did. They wore bear (ber) shirts (serk) and drank mead (mjød).
-
:o :o :o :o Amazing images ( in the link ) Hoy. Very special. Think I'll do some this Xmas and see what reactions we get ;D ;D Love the glass tree decorations and the 'sewn' Fluesopp.
Thanks for bothering to share this info. and also clearing up the 'Beserkers' story. ;D ;D 8) 8) 8)

Ronm, you are welcome; it's a pleasure ;D
If you want to try fly agaric use the urine of a person who has eaten the mushroom. It works better they say and you don't get that bad headache. :o

I'm sure you are correct Hoy, and will try at the first opportunity, 8) 8)

to Amanita muscaria - the german name is "Fliegenpilz"
so far I know have earlier farmers made this fungi ( cuttet ) in a jar with milk ...this jar they bring in the house for the cow's ...when the flies cames and drink from this milk so they are dead after short time ...
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_muscaria (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_muscaria)
The major toxins involved in poisoning are muscimol (3-hydroxy-5-aminomethyl-1-isoxazole, an unsaturated cyclic hydroxamic acid) and ibotenic acid. Muscimol is the product of the decarboxylation (usually by drying) of ibotenic acid. Muscimol and ibotenic acid were discovered in the mid-20th century.[67][68] Researchers in England,[69] Japan,[70] and Switzerland[68] showed that the effects produced were due mainly to ibotenic acid and muscimol, not muscarine . . . .
A substantial fraction of ingested ibotenic acid is excreted in the urine unmetabolized quite rapidly, between 20 and 90 minutes after ingestion. Virtually no muscimol is excreted when pure ibotenic acid is eaten but muscimol is detectable in the urine after eating A. muscaria, which contains both ibotenic acid and muscimol
In Norwegian:
Bruk
Rød fluesopp har blitt rapportert helt til nyere tid som enteogen i Øst- og Vest-Sibir, i ritualer med formål å kommunisere med åndeverden. De aktive ingrediensene blit utskilt i urinen til den som konsumerer soppene. Det har derfor i noen tilfeller vært praksis at sjamanen spiser soppene først, for å så la andre i stammen drikke urinen. Sjamanen renser da vekk de mest giftige stoffene (svette og rykninger blir forårsaket av muskarin, som ikke er tilstede i urinen). Denne metoden ble brukt av de fattigste i stammen, da de ikke hadde råd til sopp selv. Prisen på en sopp på sitt verste kunne ofte koste et helt reinsdyr. Sjamanene urinerte derfor i kopper og krus til de økonomisk strevende siden det var eneste mulighet til at alle kunne delta i ritualet. Soppene blir sjeldent konsumert rå, men i soltørket form hvor de hallusinogene stoffene er mer konsentrert (ibotensyre blir omdannet til det langt mindre giftige og langt mer psykedeliske stoffet muskimol).
Etymologi
Fluesoppen ble i gamle dager sagt å brukes som insektmiddel, i knust form blandet med melk. Denne metoden dreper dog ikke fluen, men legger den heller i dvale, lenge nok til at mennesker som "ikke ville gjøre en flue fortred" kan kaste den ut vinduet.
Det eksisterer ofte flere sider av samme sak og annen part mener at navnet aldeles ikke kommer fra den alternative insektsmiddelløsningen, men at det her dreide seg om effekten av å konsumere soppen. Det ble sagt at selve rusopplevelsen, ifølge historien, kunne få vedkommendes hode til å simre og føles som en flue.
It says the fly isn't killed but tranquilized.

I was just about to say that... ;D ;D :P :P

I just read somebody had tested 40 years old milk stored in a bog (it's the old way to store fish) and it was still drinkable :-X I would prefer some of the brown stuff.
-
I thought this was a particularly nice group of Ganoderma sp., bracket fungus. If this is sp. G. applanantum, The Artists Conch, then it is the one, ( according to some ), responsible for the loss of the famous Anne Frank Horsechestnut tree, Aesculus hippocastanum in Amsterdam. Others blame a moth ( Cameraria ohridella ),... some blame both!! :-\ :-\
-
We've just been discussing a really superb bracket fungus that is on a tree on the Aberden ring road. It is a cracker!
Not a very handy spot to get a photo, I'm afraid... and anyway, it's quite high up the tree. We hope that will at least protect it from some eejit thwacking it off. :-X

They are still there, so .....

Not sure of the name of this one, but I have in the back of my mind that it is very delicious ;D ;D. Too scared to try it though! :-[ :-[

Natalia, regarding this fungus I have searched and searched and cannot find anything like it. It has intrigued me and I would ask, if you ever do identify it, please post the details here. Thanks.

Looks like an LBM (little brown mushroom which has an analgous phrase in plants, dyc =damn yellow composite) with a secondary fungal infection fruiting on it.

I initially thought the same, but then I was informed that some relatives of the Genus Dactylaria have macro fruiting bodies with 'Drosera like sticky fibres'. But I haven't found anything else yet re this. This may well of pushed me up a 'blind alley'! ::)

I appear to be cultivating a planterful of thse brown jobs.
