Allotment Lasiosphaeria ovina – April 2024

12 April 2024

On a rotting pallet block I found some Lasiosphaeria ovina – wooly woodwart — as well as a solitary Lycogala epidendrum aethalium.

It was only earlier this year that I first saw this tiny fungus having found it at a Norfolk Fungus Study foray at Broome Heath in February.

The Lasiosphaeria ovina is in the bottom left with the orange-pink Lycogala epidendrum on top.
