Fungi Friday 🍄

Happy Fungi Friday! 🍄

After a cold two months on ice Fungi Friday is back! While there aren’t many (if any) mushrooms fruiting yet, I was awoken from my fungal slumber by this mess of ascomycota, seen on Friday 21st March 2025.

However, those crates did not grow on trees like this. So this is almost certainly green elf cup, one of two species under the genus Chlorociboria.

You can’t identify the individual species without a microscope, so iNaturalist won’t move the identification beyond the genus. This is what they look like when fruiting:

Thanks for reading.
