Bánhalmi, just noticed your comment - no, it's a slime mold which are not counted to fungi anymore. But thanks for the note.

thx for the link, Clive

I think this pics is in wrong place. It's a fungus...

LarsKorb

Thank you for the guess, Clive - it's also possible; you are right. The immature look pretty much similar.

LarsKorb

thanks both

arlanda

Very nice slime mold Lars

Thanks, Bee :)

Mark Ridgway

What an amazing sight - wonderful stuff. Thanks.

surekha

Great! I'm glad it helped :)

LarsKorb

Awesome - we made it to the exact species. This is very most likely the Trichia decipiens - I already figured it to be from the Trichiia family but surekha gave the final hint. Thanks to all for the help!

hi lars, back then i knew not much about (for me formerly : schimmelpilze), but after "monkey-mind & nana- puppets" comment on my spotting [ http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7627110 ], i got some docus of slime molds (it is in german and VERY interessting [take a look]) , after that i have read/seen/learned a lot about them. Now i would say , you had spotted the fruiting-form/stage of an slime mold. I dont have much references yet (will get some nice slime mold {amoebozoa} - books), but the suggestion from "surekha" seems very possible. therefore : TRICHIA DECIPIENS ---> notice the brght orange ball on a somewhat MILKY stem. [ PS: i will set my amoebozoas still under fungi.]

Pls look at Trichia decipiens, if possible!

LarsKorb

Finally narrowed it down to a type of Amoebozoa (wich is commonly known as slime mold) - no fungus but an amoeboid. The exact species is still unknown.

Ymw, Lars! The more I get hooked on to the trail... gets interesting :) Please take a look : http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Slime_Molds.aspx Found one img on : http://www.ruthieristich.com/blog/20090910-DSCN0007.jpg ( agree totally with Ruthie calling it the Hobbit's Glen! beautiful forest)

LarsKorb

Thanks surekha, but no, these amanitas are much larger than my spotting (even the juvenilest) and they are basicly an American type. The caps of my spotting have not been larger than 3mm and they appear to be the adult state. Again thanks for your effort.

surekha

Could it be - American Caesar mushroom (Amanita caesarea) http://botit.botany.wisc.edu/toms_fungi/mar2002.html

Leocarpus fragilis seems to be specialized on (alive?) conifers...i spotted this on very rotten deadwood (most likely oak)

LarsKorb

Great - thanks, Meik...I'll check that. And yes, Alex is also on my facebook...we keep the contact there, too. But he also has not had specific idea yet

Meik Meißner

Ah, maybe I found something! You might want to check out Leocarpus fragilis.

Meik Meißner

Wow, beautiful! My first guess was that it is something like the yelly spot, when I recognized the tiny stems of the mushroom. I'll let you know if I find something. AlexKonig has a great many mushrooms in his collection, maybe you'll find something there. http://www.projectnoah.org/users/AlexKonig

LarsKorb

Meik, any idea on this one?

surekha

How beautiful! They look like tiny orange pearl like mushrooms!!

LarsKorb

Thanks, Alice
