Broome Heath (Ditchingham) Fungi Foray – February 2024
11 February 2024
In the wooded area adjacent Lodden Road closest to village hall, we saw trees decorated with Tremella mesenterica – Yellow Brain.
I counted at least nine in this tree below:
Lichens, mosses and some Exidia glandulosa on this branch:
Tremella mesenterica parasitises the mycelium of Peniophora seen on the underside of this branch:
There was also plenty of Exidia glandulosa – Witch’s Butter:
And Auricularia auricula – Jelly Ear:
And a first for the daughter & I — Lasiosphaeria ovina – Woolly Woodwart:
We only stay for a couple of hours on the forays and always we miss some wonderful finds!
Notable were Cordyceps militaris – the Scarlet Caterpillarclub and Hypocrea atroviridis.
