Yesterday I found this fungus growing as several colonies on a thumb-thick, dry, dead twig in my garden. The most remarkable thing about it was that it had green, alga-like margins. I have never seen any fungus with such green parts in decades of hunting and photographing fungi. I studied it for some time before being reasonably sure that it was part of the fungus.
The fungus is very much like Byssomerulius corium although the green edge is unusual. I took some shots in daylight and some with flash. Microscopic examination is necessary to confirm the identity and I am going to try that.
EM-1, x2 Olympus 4/3 TC, Olympus 4/3 50mm f2, daylight ot triple TTL off-camera flash, hand-held. The first and last f16, sunlight, the others f18 flash.
I am trying out DxO Pro 9 on my RAW files. I find that their default setting leaves quite a lot of noise and it doesn't resize output JPEGs. So I have taken to saving processed images as full size TIFFS, which will lose less in resizing. I then in Photoshop, remove noise, sharpen slightly and resize to save as JPEGs.
After I had posted this I found an email in response to a photo I circulated, suggesting that it might be Leucogyrophana mollusca. I must do a little more research.
NB If you find a very large fungus which looks much like this in your home that is Dry Rot.
