Field Notes

Description:

Similar to R. conjunctipes found in the Pacific Northwest based upon description found in Mushrooms of North America by Phillips. It is said to turn a mauve color when bruised and there are some mauve bruised areas upon this specimen found on the lower trails of Old Man's Cave in Hocking Hills Logan, Ohio. Many hemlocks within area of a mostly deciduous forest.

Notes:

This one is a tough one for a newbie fungi lover to figure out. I tried identifying by some guide books and it is most similar to the R. conjunctipes located in the Pacific Northwest- I am in Ohio. reason being, the mauve bruising is one of the identification characteristics of R. conjunctipes. The other Ramaria spp. did not list the mauve bruising characteristic. Any help with the identification of this fungi would be greatly appreciated!

It all makes a special scene. Good light and colour. Good spot Dora.
Hi Clive, looks like you are a fungi specialist! I am new to the fungi sector of nature and from the books I referenced it appears closest to the R. conjunctipes (due to the mauve bruising it has experienced). Any help or guidance that you may offer towards identification is greatly appreciated! Any reference books you would suggest? Thanks for looking!
