Hi Lisa, I have 3 candidates (Genus) for your mystery fungus:TRAMETES, STEREUM or TRICHAPTUM. I think all are found on dead wood. Compare descriptions. Hope...
Hello Rich & Co., I have a friend in Sweden, who bought a plant, that has a fungus on it; that I've seen around here. I've dropped it in the photos section,...

It looks like a species of Cladonia (cristatela,?)(british soldier lichen). Here is the wikipedia entry for it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cladonia). You...
If the photo was taken in Chicago I'd say that it looks like Cladonia peziziformis, a fruticose lichen. I am not sure that it grows in Oklahoma, or maybe it...
... They appear to be Lichen fruiting bodies to me. Their growth habit on rock indicates Lichen too, but I don't know what species they are. I'm sure someone...
I wanted to announce our first trip to look for lichens in 2009. It will be held over the weekend of March 28 (Saturday) & 29 (Sunday) 2009. Location is...

... Well, I wondered if that was maybe what it was but I wasn't sure. Hopefully others will comment. In the meantime I have a mushroom expert that I correspond...
I know a bit about mushrooms, but those are too old and dehydrated for me to attempt any sort of ID, sorry. Could they be associated with a lichen? John...

Hello Jack, Thanks for that ID. I checked the image on your site, and it does look very similar. By the way, the gray, cracked mass in that shot is, I think, a...
Hi everyone, Thanks for your replies. Since my original posting 2 years ago, I had worked out that it was a Cladonia, but hadn't felt comfortable with any...
Hi, Am I looking at the wrong picture--which part is the star-like moss? I couldn't find it. Margaret M. Glynn Independent Consultant The Body Shop® At...
The star-like plant in John's photo is a moss. With the thick leaves I would say it is a Polytrichum species. The pyxie-cup lichen is a Cladonia. Rich...
