Lacehopper Sp?

Very much like to find some more of these.

Forewings with brown marking at the base. Although not fully in focus it does have

a dark transverse band across the wings.

Orange-tailed Mining Bee (Andrena haemorrhoa)?

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.

There are in fact three similar species that could be responsible but are difficult to identify, hence P fraxinii Agg

Common Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium)









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.







Honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum)







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.

Hymenoscyphus Sp?



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.
