Saw loads of Spathularia flavida in Staffordshire yesterday. I normally see a few at this site, but there seemed to be patches everywhere this year #FungiFriends #ukwildlife #mycology #fungi #Ascomycota

Look at these lovely Oak Pins (Cudoniella acicularis)! Though they look like mushrooms they are actually cup fungi (Ascomycota)!

DNA verified Sclerotiniaceae sp. ‘CA02’ growing on a tan oak acorn in Sonoma County, California. The third known observation of this apparently rare and likely undescribed species. Sequenced by Mycota Lab.

Seifertia azaleae.

This lovely Ascomycota affects rhododendron buds. You would almost think it is a slime mold but it is not.

Zythia resinae
May need to zoom into this one. This one's a resinicolous ascomycete growing on spruce pitch. Ascomycota being the group it belongs to, and resinicolous meaning that it resides on resin.

Morchella cf. importuna found yesterday in a grove of Eucalytpus globulus that burned last year in Oakland. This morel is known from landscaping and disturbed zones in the western US, so not too surprising to see it up in a fire zone. #morel #mushroom #mycology #fungi #🍄 #ascomycota #morchella

A dear friend of mine has discovered a new lichen species 😬😬 and with the team, they called it Leprocaulon inexpectatum

No, no estás en una pesadilla, es real, se trata de un hongo 🍄 de la División Ascomycota que acompaña los hayedos.🌳

Vähän normisienikirjaa kattavammasta teoksesta löytyi laji (netistäkin kyllä): mustaloisikka #Tolypocladium ophioglossoides (ennen #Cordyceps). Eipä älytty kaivaa maata sienen alta, olisi löytynyt myös MAAHIKAS
#Elaphomyces sp. - tää sieni on toisen sienen loinen.

This fungus, possibly the species Xylaria cuneata, is part of the phylum Ascomycota — which has over 64,000 species in it!

Bei den Flechten handelt es sich um Symbioseorganismen zwischen einem Pilz (in der Regel einem Schlauchpilz (Ascomycota)) und einem Partner, der Photosynthese betreiben kann – dies können Grünalgen oder auch Cyanobakterien sein. 4/5
