Dear Colleagues,
There are three species of mushrooms from the famous volcano (June 17, 2016). Is it possible to identify? it was rain period, but no other sources of water there. Ground - ash with forest debris. Sp. no 3 is epibiotic on the falling post of a tree (there was nest of a Cremogaster ant sp.)
Andrey
Andrey mushrooms are hard to identify by photos, most of them have characteristic microscopic features that are used to distinguish species. For a preliminary id with macromorphology you need to take pictures of the mushroom at least from above and behind. This mushroom is not ganoderma lucidum. The bright red color resembles Pycnoporus sanguineus.
Dear Roberto, thanks
I hesitated as well because their bodies are not hard like most epiphytic. Moreover doesn't exist any posts under the soil surface. After the every eruption of volcano burning everything of wooden origin, so may be only some temporary surface of leaves debris exists. Have you any information about some investigations on mushrooms there or other islets of the Archipelago?
Andrey
I agree with Roberto, Picture 1 rather looks like a Pycnoporus to me. The second one is very difficult to identify based on only that photo. More detailed photographs (macrophotographs) are needed.
Yes, the bright red color resembles Pycnoporus (cf. sanguineus). Is a very common species in Brazil.
First picture is different from Pycnoporus. Second belongs to Tricholomataceae family.
Is it exist Hymenial picture? for both pictures. If exist it will be more easy to say something.
