Today its Peltigera. I still don't like to ID them. Everything I touch keys out to be rufescens.

Pseudombrophila hepatica (Batsch) Brumm., my second ascomycete from my recent trip to the "Vorharz". Growing on rotting grass and droppings of (a small mammal?).
Ascomycete identification is a whole new can of worms for me. This was also only possible with help from the pilzforum.eu.

Walking through late-fall high grass while the camera decided to fire a focus stack burst - processed while batch processing in Helicon focus.

With help from the Fungi forum (Pilzforum.eu) this yellow ascomycete has a name: Octospora coccinea. #FungiFriends

Now I just need to put a name on the moss 😱

Tonight I am working on an ascomycete - and I am out of ideas. Maybe @ruhrpottpilze.bsky.social has some Ideas?
It is growing ephemeral on calcareous soil between small mosses (periodically flooded limestone quarry in N ger ~ 100müNHN)

New arrival today. Not really easy reading - hopefully useful for my developing interests. #Hyphomycetes #MycoBookClub

Dorset UK - Didymellopsis collematum , perithecia lichenicolous on Collema tenax v. ceranoides. Asci to 100 x 15 µm, spores hyaline, 1-septate, 22-25(-27) x 5-7 µm.
Abundant on drive where I park my car - a bit of thallus about the size of my thumbnail had possibly 50 perithecia on it! #lichenGBI

This really makes me want to get (back) into arts (never did much painting, mostly drawing). I want to try gouache - realistically I do not have the time to invest in yet another hobby...
Kids were playing around with watercolour yesterday - so I had a go. #lichen and art.

My first #AquaticHyphomycetes sample. Lots of photos, no idea about the species yet 😅.

Let's try to find some #AquaticHyphomycete.

Micarea denigrata #lichen - I think. Conspicuously white tipped pycnidia and small apothecia on worked wood (fencing). The C-reaction is not behaving as I would like it (C-).

I was photographing a globular springtail (Dicyrtomina saundersi) in the garden, when a juvenile "elongate" springtail came scurrying into view. Remarkably, they're both reasonably in focus with this single shot. Two for the price of one! #collembola #mesofauna #macro #photograph

Tonight I tried to replicate the "on-slide" test for usnic acid published by B. McCune 2024 with adaptations. Results look promising - further evaluation is necessary. #lichen
E. prunastri has a strong red reaction. Probably second compound reacting brown?
P. grisea is negative.
L. saligna + 1/
