An example of the fungus Bryomyces velenovskyi on the moss Pleurozium schreberi where just a single leaf is severely infected and the rest are healthy.
Bryomyces velenovskyi forms blackish spots on moss leaves. Zooming in, you can see the dark brown mycelial network of the fungus.

Some great Myxomycetes! Myxomycetes are not fungi but have traditionally been studied by mycologists!

Documenting fungi on places like @inaturalist can be helpful for all sorts of science and agriculture! If you’re near an herbarium that can help with vouchering that is another excellent activity!

After finding the rare witches cauldron fungus in the northern most bogs of Minnesota, we now know WHAT is inside the cauldron. Serpentine hyphae!

Great samples from @EClemensOtto of eastern gall rust to add to the teaching collection - both pycnia and aecia are now out in Minnesota.

Adapting to a new environment - *Aquatic* and Marine Mycology class coming in Fall '22 in landlocked NY. What are some good ways to introduce #FreshwaterFungi into this class? #Mycology #Fungi #AquaticBiology

9月23日のきのこ探索より。このチャワンタケの仲間、ミミブサタケほどではないものの、刺激すると大量の胞子をもわーんと吹き出してくれる、胞子吹き愛好家にとっては最高に楽しいみなさん。あちこちで見かけるんだけど未だに正体不明なのですよ。いったい誰なんだろ🤔
