More from the trip to Drumboe to survey lichens and fungi. Some identifications liable to amendment after further analysis.

 

Dull with heavy rain.

Two fungi on Betula. Anisogramma virgultorum (left, said to be rare) and Arthopyrenia punctiformis on the right.

    

 

A tiny specimen of Fuscidea lightfootii growing on Betula.

 

This tiny fungus was growing on a fallen Ash log. A Hemimycena, about 5mm. across the cap.

A crust that grows on the underside of Elder branches: Hyphodontia sambuci.

Two fungi on Holly. Peniophora ilex on the left (note the red beads at the edge of the grey crust). Trochila ilicina on the right.

    

 

A lovely specimen of Mycena meliigena growing on moss. Cap about 10 mm. across.

A Pyrenomycete on Honeysuckle. Kabatia periclymeni.

 

This appeared to be a fungal growth on Beech, but it turns out to be Cryptococcus fagisuga - a scale insect.

 

And lastly, a moss growing on a large boulder - Racomitrium aciculare.
