- Young Paxillus sp. encountered in Chivor forest above Santa Maria
The purple stipe reminded me of Tapinella, which used to be part of Paxillus - What cool colors! This Gliophyllus sp. - waxgill is probably still undescribed; seen in Chivor
- Wasp nest
- Trichaptum perrottetii with 10 cm scale. Yes, Hexagonia comes to mind, but the hymenium is so unusually thin and the pores lacking the typical hexagonal shape.
- Trichaptum perrottetii transect very close up showing how the fibres make up most of the fruiting body.
- Trichaptum perrottetii transect - note how thin the pore layer is.
- Trichaptum perrottetii hymenium of this strangely fibrous polypore
- Trichaptum perrottetii with a purplish edge
- Trechispora thelephora immature on leaf #39
- Trechispora thelephora immature in situ #39
- Trechispora - looking at the hymenium
- tiny Moelleriella fruiting bodies seen on a leaf in Chivor
Moelleriella is a genus of fungi within the Clavicipitaceae family (most famous for ergot - Claviceps purpurea) that infect and kill aphids. When checking leaves closely in the rainy season, Moeleriella species are everywhere, but due to their tiny size, most people never see this fungus. - Tiny Hygrocybe sp with scale, each mark is 1 mm
- Three-fingered sloths close up climbing
- Spiny pins of young Mycena mushrooms. Not the cap where the spines scraped off.
- Spider
- Schizophyllum brown orange
- Same Deconica sp. with interesting speckled stipes growing in Chivor forest above Sta Maria.
- Root tips that tricked me first into being excited to have found a Cordyceps
- Red agaric #118 scale
