FGSES - Red Moss/Bavelaw, 07/08/2016
A very windy day in the Pentlands but it didn't put off a hardy dozen or so dead set on bothering all things fungal.
With a fair few birches there were a number of species with Betula associations
A nice find in the car park was this Taphrina alni - Alder tongue
Possibly the highlight of the day (though I do have another candidate) was this Snaketongue Truffleclub - Cordyceps ophioglossoides. The parastic Cordyceps reaches up into the air to spread spores from a false truffle which is underground.
Some other great highlights of the day ...
Non fungal
You can't spend a day inthe field without also finding other things, so a small section devoted to them
