Figured I'd hop in on all the fun pictures are pointless without people seeing them. I use a mediocre waterproof point n shoot. No dslr here boys......(obviously). Tehehe 
Going going back back to pellie pellie


Flammulina cluster...mostly rock hard frozen but beautiful none the less, I didn't have proper lighting boo 


Unknown sp. I was thinking deconica. Spore print in progress but the caps were in hammered shit condition so I doubt I'll get spores.


Ahhhhh, gotta love The NW.

I found a caterpillar that was being colonized by some type of fungus. It was dead but there were others around that were healthy and doing just fine so I got a bit excited. I took the caterpillar home and decided to incubate him and hopefully get it to fruit. Possible cordyceps sp.?
DID I FIND A CORDYPILLAR? 

It would be quite possibly the coolest thing that's ever happened to me next to losing my virginity if it fruited.

Cordyceps some have the ability to affect the hosts behaviour!! like making an Ant climb a plant or branch and attach to it before it dies for optimal fungal environment and better spore distribution!! that would be SIC if thats it!!

I'm really hoping its a Cordyceps sp. as soon as I put it in high RH and a little warmer temps then outside the fuzzy white myc exploded with growth.
Who knew I'd get excited over a dead "moldy" caterpillar. I fucking love fungus.

Was it near wood or anything like that? I've seen Schizophyllum mycelium that looks similar to that eating a beetle shell before.

Not much to update but any how.
More practice shots for the upcoming spring season.

I tried getting the crazy bugs on the cup fungi clearer but they were tiny and my camera has a small screen.
And an update of my beloved CORDYPILLAR! He is doing well, they grow up so fast!

Some primordia or possible hyphal knots in-vitro. Just an oyster strain that's transferred from a culture slant. Not sure where it came from to be honest. MJK would know.

That's a weird looking bug inside that cup-fungi. Have you tried to ID it? Byrain is good with bugs, Ganzig is too. I think those oysters came from Raceme, did I just give you one strain?

I don't know it, bugguide.net probably could narrow it down a little at least. I only know Cynipidae galls from CA a little, bugs are hard when you don't collect specimens to study...

I have not tried. I suppose I could but my brain has been scrambled by Latin fungi genera and if I take on insects right now I think I will just end up with a very confused inner dialogue. If only I had more self control when it comes to learning.
You gave me two oysters. Pulmanarius and ostreatus. The featured species is ostreatus. The latter did not take to agar no matter how much I coddled it unfortunately.

They were hairy but not spiked liked I see most photos of cyptotrama. I would guess white yes. I dunno it's a weird looker that's for sure.

I have been having the worst luck on identifying mushrooms lately.
These mushrooms were growing out of a mass of goop. I was thinking it was a sclerotia of some sort. I included pictures of the gleba inside the sclerotia.
They were growing in a well shaded, mossy grand fir re-prod stand of approx. 20 years of age. (I was truffle hunting). Usually you would have to remove the moss to see the "sclerotia"
Spore print is slow but appears to be white or cream at this point.

Now with some random stuff
Here is the difference between the gleba of two different truffles. One is a desired truffle, the other is not. Can you tell me the genera of each one?

I love Flammulina gills.

Pleurotopsis longinqua, thanks RD for the id on this!

This cube is trying really hard to push off the lid on the petri. Should I clone em?

Compare with Entoloma abortivum. Edit:The gills look a little off,not sure what you got there.

See thats what i was thining to, but i havent seen them non abort like that, i thought they were more funky looking, at least the ones ive seen online, never seen it in person. The jacked up mycelium and base of the fruits does indicate a parasitic species it seems. and thats the only white one i can think of. It had crossed my mind, but i dismissed it. I hope it turns out to be that.

Thanks joust. Clone in progress any guess on species of Clitocybe?
Blue, I would agree that is close but this was not a hardwood forest and the interior of the "mass" they were fruiting out of was not white. I am also west of the Rockies.

For you brotha.

I figured with the extra upload space I'd post a few randoms that I took before the blizzard let loose it's icy chaos. Ganoderma and Conocybe filaris.

A wicked dead sheep, it was gnarly and grotesque but interesting nonetheless.

Conocybe filaris = Pholiotina rugosa and there are at least around 5 different annulate Pholiotina spp. found in CA, there are probably more than 1 in Oregon, Washington & BC too. Did you happen to save the specimens?

Yes I did save it. I tried keying it out and that's what I came up with. Although the umbos were really pronounced on this species.

To confirm Pholiotina you would need to see the cheilocystidia and maybe the pileipellis structure, although it looks pretty promising if not certain already. For species determination you would need to look at the cheilocystidia & spores. Unfortunately lots of mycologists see a Pholiotina and are more than happy to just pass it off as Conocybe filaris or P. rugosa and even include it in field guides as if its the only option... Using the European key in Flora Agaricina Neerlandica vol 6, 5 of the 7 annulate Pholiotina listed seem to work in the states (Based off only a handful of scoped collections), however lots of work still needs to be done with them. Also, I'm not really sure its clear if the American versions of P. rugosa & vexans are different species or are even the same as the European versions, in Europe they should have a different spore range, all the American collections I have seen seem to have spores in the upper range of P. rugosa or lower range of P. vexans or in other words, right in the middle...
If you want, you can upload the pictures on MO, then label the bag containing the specimens with the MO observation number and then send it to me and I will scope it as soon as I get around to it which is probably not any time soon...

Jeez, I spoke in an uneducated manner by labeling it Conocybe, I apologize and thank you for the information.
I will work on the picture uploads and getting a mailer set up. I can put some of that sheep in there too for you if you want I'll you
If your overwhelmed with material I understand. I'm buying a laptop hopefully in the next few days when the weather clears and then the scope is next so hopefully I can start being a responsible mycophile.

You can call them Conocybe if you want, I'm not sure what genus they belong in is really settled yet. I personally prefer following the European experts who split Pholiotina from Conocybe, at least until it is clear they should be called something else. And yea, I'm pretty overwhelmed, so many dried collections!
