Doc Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Hi all, I wonder if anyone could help with the ID of these small mushrooms/fungi growing on a tree trunk in the UK? Many thanks Kumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Quist Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Probably Hypholoma. About ten species in Denmark - often named after the tree they grow on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypholoma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Richmond Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Could be Sulphur tuft, Hypholoma fasciculare var. fasciculare, or, as Niels has already said, one of the other Hypholoma species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Price Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hi, This cluster of mushrooms looks very much like Mycena galericulata. M. galericulata are found in the UK and fruit in dense clusters on rotting wood. I used to see these in woodlands in Oxfordshire frequently. Hope this helps, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
