Saw this in 2004 next to the road at the bottom of Mt Kinabaloo in Malaysia (Island of Borneo). Any idea what it is? Bigger pic: http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z17/theonetruepath/Fungi/DSC_5313LA.jpg
Beautiful! I've no idea what it is, but if you want to pursue this; if you can reach mycologist Roland Treu, I'm betting he will know. - frog
Amazing pictures - I wouldn't venture a guess as to what it could be. Roy Halling published a book on tropical fungi of Central America. He is here in the US and relatively easy to get a hold of.
GORGEOUS! That color is incredible. Something about the tropics is just the amazing variety of things we've yet to explore and identify. Good luck on you're search for a name!
Slime mould? Egg & yolk? Saw this at the bottom of Mt Kotakinabalu quite some time back. Any ideas what it is? Clean forgot I asked this in July last year. But no definitive answer then either...
Re: Slime mould? Egg & yolk? I suggest posting it on http://mushroomobserver.org/?_js=on&_new=true. That site has a more international crowd, and more experts than the few here (no offense intended to the great people on this board). They usually get an ID pretty quickly.
Re: Slime mould? Egg & yolk? You're not wrong. It took someone calling himself 'Curecat' a bit under five minutes to propose the name Lepista sp. (Fr.) W.G. Sm.
Re: Slime mould? Egg & yolk? Right! It does kind of look like Lepista nuda. Can you post the link to the precise post with your Lepista? Thanks.
