Mycena

Hi Gully, marks comment lead me to see your comment of 5 months ago!! Thank you, very interesting. Looks very similar to the one I saw, but so far haven't found mention of it growing in Vancouver.

Oh, fantastic, Mark... "Take me to your leader!"

Hey G.M and Pam here's a good one to think about... http://www.flickr.com/photos/steveaxford...

Hmm... I've never seen any shaggy or scaly Mycenas before so I was doubtful these were. However, it seems there are in fact a group of Mycena which display veil remnants - Mycena sect. Sacchariferae. Looks likely, but I should think it would be very hard to get further than this without a microscope.

Here is the page that lead me to it:

thanks Argy Bee. I looked up the photos of mycena sp. Haha, there are hundreds of different ones, many of which match some of my smaller fungi spottings, but many of the ones that look alike to me have different type species. it would really need an expert!

what about the purple one Argy Bee? Do you know what that is?

hahaha! Laurel and Hardy it is...
It might be a baby of the next spotting I entered, which was close by...

Wow lucky day Pam... 2 in 1 spotting! The tall skinny one might be a mycena sp. and the short fat one... ? maybe just call them Laurel and Hardy for a while.
