FungiFriday: Slender-footed Cordyceps and Tooth Fungus
I have a mushroom collection to share today. These photos were taken at different spots In the past mushroom walks. I have identified and I hope this is accurate.
There is the slender-footed cordyceps (Cordyceps tenuipes) in the first place. This kind of cordyceps is commonly found in rotten wood.
The fungus is white with a dusty fruit body. When capturing this I have to use a cover mask so that the mushroom dust is not inhaled because I'm worried it is poisonous.
Next, there is the tooth fungus (Phellodon atratus) belonging to the family Bankeraceae. I found this in a palm field.
Normally this fungus occurs in a dense mass on the soil such as roses (moss just to make it look beautiful). But this one is small in size, not yet widening. The texture of the fungus is hard and solid, thick black, and white on the edges.
