role in forest ecosystems, helping to break down the litter layer of the forest floor. in fact the litter layer, particularly in oak-hickory woods in eastern north america, is often teeming with marasmioid mushrooms, even when conditions are extremely dry and hot. despite their tiny size, many marasmioid

litter, or woody debris; and microscopic features. even so, confusion with collybioid mushrooms , mycenoid mushrooms , and several other groups is pretty much a given when it comes to identification of marasmioid species. identifying marasmioid mushrooms sometimes hinges on microscopic examination ,...

into spore dust as the mushroom matures. when the puffball matures it splits open, or a perforation develops on surface of the ball, through which the spores escape—when raindrops land on the puffball, via air currents, or by some other means. puffballs range widely in size and appearance—from tiny

i am including the "earthstars" with the puffballs since they consist, at maturity, of a puffball sitting atop a star-shaped arrangement of fleshy arms—as well as the so-called "stalked puffballs," which consist of a ball-like spore case that sits atop a stem. when sliced open, puffballs contain only...

a lot of features to assess--even under the microscope. macroscopic features you will need to observe in order to attempt identifying cup fungi include the upper surface of the cup (the spore-producing "hymenium," in mycologese), the margin (use a hand lens; you are looking for tiny hairs or pustules

(one frustrating hurdle in the study and identification of cup fungi involves the fact that immature specimens are often collected, making study of the spores impossible.) ideally you should mount your sections in % koh and in melzer's reagent, since the reaction of the ascus tips to melzer's (bluing...

hunting nemeses. as far as i am concerned, they are about as cool as mushrooms can get; some of them parasitize underground puffballs, while the rest attack insects. but the challenge for a mushroom hunter is to recognize cordyceps in the woods and manage to dig up, collect and/or photograph the parasitized...
