Mycological Notes 6: A trip to the beach
Jerry Cooper, June 2012
On the recent foray based at Riverton a few of us visited the local beach to do some targetted searching for a seaweed and its associated fungi - and we found one. There are lots of marine fungi out there.

Jerry Cooper, June 2012
In 1994 Barbara Segedin published a paper discussing some New Zealand species of the small crepidotus-like genus Cheimonophyllum. Here are some notes on recent findings.
Mycological Notes 4: Fungus cubed

Mycological Notes 3: Mycorrhizal Fungi with Riverbank Willows
Jerry Cooper, June 2012
Wetland areas are often associated with willows and the S. Island has extensive areas stretching up into the high country along the banks of the braided rivers. They have some specific ectomycorrhizal fungi associated with them.
Mycological Notes 2: Pleurocollybia cremea, Clitocybe albida and alies
Jerry Cooper, June 2012
Over the years I’ve collected a number of white pleurotoid or eccentrically stemmed agarics on wood which were clearly not Pleurotus. I’ve always puzzled over what name to give them. I'm still puzzled. Here are my notes.
Mycological Notes 1: Frost Flat Fungi
Jerry Cooper, June 2012
During the 2011 Taupo foray I made a brief excursion to the Rangitaiki Reserve off the Napier road. The reserve is a good example of an old tephra plain, or frost-flat, and of national significance as a historically rare ecosystem. These ecosystems were identified as the result of research involving ecologists, botanists and entomologists, but no input from mycologists! So, are there fungi in such places and are they characteristic of these ecosystems?
I spent about an hour and collected thirteen fruitbodies in the frost-flat reserve. Here’s some notes on my observations.
