Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: A fungus - Radulomyces confluens This fungus was about 4cm across. It is a fairly common species, though rather unusual in its appearance; it is often covered with warty projections, as shown here.
It is described and illustrated in the book "Fungi of Switzerland – Vol 2" (Breitenbach/Kränzlin) under the synonym Cerocorticium confluens. The book mentions that the most common host is Fagus (beech), that the fungus is soft and waxy in consistency, and that, when moist, as in my own photograph, it is "cream-coloured to greyish-ochre with bluish gleam, hygrophanous and somewhat opalescent" [a "hygrophanous" fungus is one that looks different when wet, taking on a waterlogged (i.e., darker and less opaque) appearance]. |
