Another image from my walk on New Years Day, this one more my normal sort of image a close-up of some thing ;0))
In this case it is a group of fungi in the middle of a very muddy field of winter wheat. walking across the field on a foot path I noticed a bare row that had a lot of chopped up stalks (Chaff) of last years crop and in this line over a 6m - 20ft length was groups of these orange brown fungi. The one you see in the BG with the flatterned cap is as large as they got at 25mm / 1ins across . I picked this group because it showed a whole range of sizes from just emerged to the fully expanded cap.I have put in WS a veiw of the underside of 2 caps click here to veiw
the name as with most of my fungi idents is very tentative and comes with the thought one of you will probably know better than me.
Well as I thought somebody did know better than me and its proper name is Tubaria hiemalis also called Winter twiglet fungus, and it prefer togrow on wood chips or other small wood piece or like here on old straw ploughed into a field.
Thank you to Felipe Mateo (extramundi) for finally putting the name of this one to bed. Its worth looking at his many great image of both fungi of which there are many but also his other wildlife shot.

Hi Robert!
Looks like you had got better weather in NYD then we in Poland :-) I like your picture - great composition with bunch of fungi in all stages. And green grass! Colours, details, POV - I like all. Thank you for sharing!

Interesting fungi and nice photo Robert. Very good composition, sharpness and colors.

Nice macro of these cute little fungi. Good colours and composition and I especially like the variation in ages.

these are clearly Hygrocybe, upon the way they look and the period they appeared.
Not much about which specie, for not all the species are common both to UK and RO flora, and I have only a Romanian fungi identification book.

Regards, Petru

Good fungi photo. I like peaceful light and good natural colors. Excellent details and sharpness. Composition is very good in the middle. A little suggestion only cropping about 1,5 cm from top and bottom makes it work better for me.

Hi Robert,
This one looks very good. Excellent colors, sharp detail, and great DOF. Looks like your Sony preformed very well here. I do not see any softness where it should not be.

Hi Robert,

Nice photo good and sharp with a nice range of fruiting body's. I don't think its a Hygrocybe though. The vale fragments on the cap is very unusual for this group although I have no idea what it could be.

Cheers Clive

Hi Rob! Very good focusing and colors you've captured here. I like the gree grass background. It's only now I'm learning to appreciate this type of photos as I usually neglect to see the beauty of smaller plants. Very informative notes as well! rgds.

Hi Robert,

This isn't a Hygrocybe. Specie of Hygrocybe genus doesn't have white veil. Also the general aspect is very different.
This is Tubaria hiemalis Romagnesi ex Bon 1992 (very probably) or Tubaria furfuracea (Persoon 1801) Gillet 1876;
the difference is only microscopical: Tubaria hiemalis has got capitatee pleurocistidia, Tubaria furfuracea not.
These are two very common species all over the world, they grow on dead wood (or residual). The white veilipellis on the cap is typical.

A nice family you have here, naturally captured.
Next time cut the grass, only 1 or 2 leaves :)
In TN there is more INFO than expected.
I had already posted this one sometime ago.
In my last two posts I was talking about the great info research center TN is becaming.
There are plenty species in our archives.
Thanks for posting.
