Wow, that is really cool!

Did that Amanita really have an annulus?  Looks like there is no easy way to separate section Caesareae from Vaginatae except the annulus.  I wonder if those 2 sections form distinct clades.  Your find suggests that they do not.

---

thanks man.
it did indeed have an annulus.
im waiting to hear back from ret to see if he wants to do the microscopy.
if not, you want in?

Interesting, the Tyromyces (13-16) has maze-like pores and I didn't know they could look like that. But it might help explain a similar mushroom I've been finding that is very mushy, presumably from the recent snow-melt. But it had the maze-like pores which made me wonder if it was Trametes gibbosa. Was yours soft or brittle?

---

soft...the pores are the only thing that has me questioning the id.
also, if the ones you are finding have "teeth-like" pores...research Trametes villosa.

on # 2
Fuligo septica
sometimes whey they turn pruple the are being attacked by another fungus.  A hand lens would be needed and look for little things that look like white flower petals at least to me.  The fungus that attacks it is a Nectriopsis there are several sp of it but easy to tell them apart with a little work.

Haha, lulz on the rules callout. When's the next G.M.S foray?

Thanks for clearing up the Xylaria thing, John. I didn't realize it had an anamorphic stage!

---

i think that is the first time i've ever been called out.
i've been really slacking on the GMS. i'll get around to it.
we are going to have a meetup meeting first, then a foray and then i'm planning a speaker.

Dude, that schedule is rockstar. You get OT for that first week?

I stare out my window at 13yos selling heroin to 50yos

yikes.

no. one of the days falls on the 8th day of the pay period, which is sunday (12hr day making it 52 hrs)...
so it's a little beat, but not that bad.

gainesville, fl is definitely a hot-spot for fungal activity. Murrill was the man!!
i literally use his book published in 1973 for hunting locations as well as id's.
some of the names are dated, but a quick search in google usually reveals the correction...
i live 2 blocks from where he built his first house and he did not have a car...
so the majority of places he hunted are walkable and still remain somewhat in tact.
the above photos were taken in one of these areas.

i'll shoot you a pm about something that is against the rules...
