Yellow fieldcaps (Bolbitius titubans)

These delicate little mushrooms fruit on rotting hay or grass, or sometimes dung. They emerge as pretty, bright yellow little heads, and within the day will open up fully and lose their colour.

FOTD #009 : yellow fairy cups! (bisporella citrina)

yellow fairy cups (AKA lemon discos) are fungi in the family helotiaceae. they are found in north africa, asia, europe, australia, new zealand, north america, & central + south america. fruit bodies are typically encountered growing in dense clusters on the surface of rotten wood (especially deciduous trees), particularly beech.

the big question : can i bite it?? nah - they are inedible.

b. citrina description :

"fruit bodies begin as spherical, closed globules, before expanding. the smooth, bright yellow fruit bodies are small—typically less than 3 mm (1⁄8 in) in diameter & up to 1 mm (1⁄32 in) high—& shallowly cup- or disc-shaped. the inner surface is smooth, & bright yellow, while the outer surface is a paler yellow. in mass, the spore color is white. the stalk is broad, pale yellow in color, & short to nearly absent; when present it is rarely more than 1 mm. the fruit bodies may be so numerous that their shapes are distorted by overcrowding. fruit bodies that have dried are wrinkled & have a dull orangish-brown color."

Polycauliona polycarpa

Pin-cushion sunburst lichen

WARNING: Y'all are gonna see this lichen and be like "Oh I've seen that one! It grows everywhere around here!" Happens with every yellow lichen I post. BUT what you are seeing everywhere is close relative Xanthoria parietina, most likely you aren't seeing this guy. P. polycarpa has a more restricted range and habitat niche and can be found only on exposed hardwood trees and wood in humid, montane-boreal regions. It has a shorter and narrower, convex, more fruticose thallus than X. parietina, and grows in small, puffy, yellow-orange cushions. It produces lots of apothecia which have a concave to flat, yellow-orange discs. So as the common name suggests, it's just overall more pin-cushiony. Get up close and personal with your local yellow-orange lichens today! Maybe someday, you'll notice this guy in the midst of the tsunami of X. parietina.

Pyrrhospora quernea

The world is really something right now. I know it is weighing heavily on a lot of us, and so please take this moment to just enjoy one of nature's most pure and wholesome lil guys, P. quernea. This crustose lichen has a thick, leprose, granular-sorediate thallus that ranges in color from straw to fawn to sulfur yellow. The margins are often delimited by a black prothallus. It is often sterile, but when fertile, produces red to brown-black apothecia. P. quernea grows on bark and wood in exposed sites in warm-humid and costal regions of the northern hemisphere.
