A mixed bag at this time of year with first up an collybioid agaric from Cullaloe

| Fruitbodies |

| Gills |

| Spores - typical smooth, hyaline, ellipsoid, j- |

| Pileipellis - somewhat dry (see later!) |

| Stipe |

| Rehydrated "dryophila type" pileipellis cell! |
This species is one which was recorded from last May on the reserve so looks like a recurring species. Maybe I'll even recognise it at the third time of asking. Not sure of the order, but somewhere in the mix was this splendid asco -
Scutellinia scutellata
Another asco which caused initial confusion was this nice fat jelly from cherry tree bark - a Cudoniella sp. (
C. clavus var grandis)
From that overstuffed roundness we went to the spikiness of
Scopuloides rimosa
Also brought along for our viewing pleasure was this cheeky little orange basidiomycete, something of a rarity, having a go at some
Peniophora incarnata. I've clearly written its name down wrongly so I'll wait until I have that properly from Ellis & Ellis later
Last, but not least was this odontoid specimen which was still under scrutiny when I left
Not a bad night with a nice breadth of material to look at. There's an increase in asco-bothering activity but we did manage a couple of resupinates at least, and the ascos were nice.
