The Scaly or Woolly Chanterelle was formerly placed in the Gomphus genus. It is reported mainly from North America.

Ramaria cystidiophora var. citronella, reported from the Pacific Northwest of North America.

A massive, red-tripped coral mushroom of uncertain distribution. Photo from Dakota Ridge, British Columbia.

Also known as the Carmine Coral, it does not stain on bruising. Found in the Pacific Northwest of North America under Hemlock.

Known as the Red Coral Fungus or as Carmine Coral.

Ramaria longispora Marr.& StuntzSlo.: dolgospora griva (?)Dat.: Sept. 12. 2014Lat.: 46.36660 Long.: 13.74820Code: Bot_836/2012_DSC4012Habitat: light mixed wood, Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica dominant, locally under canopies of dense stand of young Picea abies; in shade, no ground vegetations; moderately incline mountain slope, northwest aspect; calcareous ground; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 4-6 deg C, elevation 935 m (3.070 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: soil covered by a layer of fallen off needles of Picea abies.Place: Spodnja Trenta valley, next to the trail from Trenta village to Trebiki dol; about half way from Planina Krotica to Planina Lepo, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comments: Ramaria longispora was originally described as a fungus of the Pacific Northwestern United States in 1973. For decades it hasn't been recorded in Europe. However, Christan (2008) (Ref.2.) described it as present also in Europe in 2008. Also Hagar (2015) (Ref.:3.) is mentioning finds in Europe. Recently done mycological survey of the region of Triglav National Park, Slovenia revealed several finds in east Julian Alps (Ref.:4.). It has been found in four UTM sub-squares of this region so far.The traits of this find fit well to literature. This species is macroscopically easy to confuse with small fruit bodies of Ramaria largentii. But Ramaria largentii has clamped basidia and hypha and somewhat smaller spores. I was unable to find clamps. Spore and basidia dimensions fit very well to literature, as well as relatively long sterigmata (average 8 microns). Also a few exceptionally long and deformed spores, which are characteristically produced by Ramaria longispora (Ref.:2) have been observed.

Ramaria longispora Marr.& StuntzSlo.: dolgospora griva (?)Dat.: Sept. 12. 2014Lat.: 46.36660 Long.: 13.74820Code: Bot_836/2012_DSC4012Habitat: light mixed wood, Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica dominant, locally under canopies of dense stand of young Picea abies; in shade, no ground vegetations; moderately incline mountain slope, northwest aspect; calcareous ground; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 4-6 deg C, elevation 935 m (3.070 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: soil covered by a layer of fallen off needles of Picea abies.Place: Spodnja Trenta valley, next to the trail from Trenta village to Trebiki dol; about half way from Planina Krotica to Planina Lepo, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comments: Ramaria longispora was originally described as a fungus of the Pacific Northwestern United States in 1973. For decades it hasn't been recorded in Europe. However, Christan (2008) (Ref.2.) described it as present also in Europe in 2008. Also Hagar (2015) (Ref.:3.) is mentioning finds in Europe. Recently done mycological survey of the region of Triglav National Park, Slovenia revealed several finds in east Julian Alps (Ref.:4.). It has been found in four UTM sub-squares of this region so far.The traits of this find fit well to literature. This species is macroscopically easy to confuse with small fruit bodies of Ramaria largentii. But Ramaria largentii has clamped basidia and hypha and somewhat smaller spores. I was unable to find clamps. Spore and basidia dimensions fit very well to literature, as well as relatively long sterigmata (average 8 microns). Also a few exceptionally long and deformed spores, which are characteristically produced by Ramaria longispora (Ref.:2) have been observed. One is shown on Picture 1M (arrow).Growing solitary; fruit body dimensions: 6 cm tall and 3.5 cm wide; stipe solid, not branched up to 2.5 cm height and about 2 cm in diameter; smell mild, pleasant, fresh, on fruits (?); taste mild pleasant, mushroomy, not bitter; SP faint, pale ocher-yellow, oac806 (?), color uncertain.Spores warty.

Most likely to be Ramaria gelatinosa var. oregonensis. This species has not yet been recorded in Tasmania, so I am reluctant to officially give the fungi in my photos that name. I wish I could have collected a specimen!Photographed in Burnie, at the Fern Glade Reserve.
