Vana Bartlett commented

Andrena haemorrhoa is incorrect, looks like a Micrandrena sp to me though can't judge size -
presume it was quite small? haemorrhoa has orange hind tibia as well as the orange 'tail' - several other species have orange tail too.

Honeycomb Crust (Antrodia ramentacea)

Not quite

As Anne later commented

Also the resupinate I took home wasn’t Antrodia ramantacea. The spores were completely wrong.
When I rehydrated it at home, it looked very similar to Schizopora paradoxa.
And although the spores were on the large side, they were identical to S.paradoxa.
It is a very variable species and can produce irpicoid pore surface making
it look very similar to other (more interesting!!) resupinates.


Still a rather nice pore surface.

Hylaeus Sp ♀︎?

There are several species with a pair of whitish stripes on the pronotal collar.

eg White-jawed Yellow Face (Hylaeus confusus), Hairy Yellow Face (Hylaeus hyalinatus), Chalk Yellow Face (Hylaeus dilatatus)

So difficult to be sure from these images.

Vanna Bartlett commented

The Hylaeus is most likely hyalinatus - the white hair fringe on side of tergite 1 rule out communis,
the shape of the yellow facial spots indicate hyalinatus or confusus,
the long face with wide malar gap lean towards hyalinatus.

TrinityBroadsHymenoschyphus2170623-2-NEF_DxO_DeepPRIME

Hymenoscyphus Sp?

TrinityBroadsHymneoscyphus170623-1-NEF_DxO_DeepPRIME

I reckon that the Hymenoscyphus (on wet rotting root of Angelica) was H. vitellinus
based on cap colour, spore size/shape and paraphyses shape. Reference P. Thompson: Ascomycetes.
Yvonne took some home too. However, I see that there are 176 taxa associated with the genus
Hymenoscyphus on
FRDBI and my 3 books (FTE, Thompson & B&K) don’t cover anywhere near that number.

From Tony M

Confirmed with qualification from Yvonne

Agree with Tony about the Hymenoscyphus and the Ganoderma on the Eucalyptus, using same references.
I now think the stems the Hymenoscyphus were on were Filipendula and I noticed that there were also Orbilia present on these.
I have been down that rabbit hole before so left those - I might look at them another time.

There are three other similar Anthyomia Sp. One of which is extremely rare and needs examination of the male genitalia to id it.

Males of P frutetorum have a long haired tubercle on the hind femur.

This one does not have the tubercle BUT males and females are a bit more tricky to identify as the eyes of both sexes do not meet on the top of the head.

Then you need to check the shape of the genital area. Tapered in females.

In this case I don't think the genital area is tapered so possible an example of P versicolor.

A large moss that can reach heights of 70cm.

It cannot survive using water that passes over its leaf surface alone.

It has a very simple system of water conducting cells, unlike other mosses.

Sanicle rust on a leaf stem

Vicky first found it on a petiole and according to the Dutch Rust book ‘Roesten’,
only Stage I (aecia) occurs on the petiole. Vicky subsequently found it on the
underside of a living leaf. I took a piece (on underside of leaf) home
but I couldn’t extract any material to confirm the stage.

From Tony M


Puccinia saniculae

It would be good to see the mature form of this.

The modern name for the parasitic fungus on Trichia favoginea is Polycephalomyces tomentosus.

Ellis & Ellis point towards Blistrum ovalisporum or Blistrum tometosum as Tony has commented.

There's a lovely picture from Wikipedia here showing Blistrum ovalisporum.

Weevil Sp?

This turned out to be quite complicated.

There are a fair number of small green weevil species and they fall into two familes apparently.

Phyllobius & Polydrusus Weevils.

They both feed on the foliage of various plants. In this casing mating on Dogwood.

The families can be separated by the insertion point of the antennae. In all Phyllobius species the insertion point is visible from above. In Polydrusus species this is not the case.

Another caveat is that not all Polydrusus species are green.

An introduction to this identification conundrum can be found on

Phyllobius Weevils at Eakring Birds

In this case the antennae insertion points appear to visible form above so a Phyllobius Sp

Needless to say there is another family in the melting pot - Pachyrhinus, which looks similar to both Phyllobius & Polydrusus species.
