Thanks, Nancy! One question: The "wolf's milk slime" on your list, which is a lovely but slimy pink when still soft, is a slime mold -- are they considered to be FUNGI by modern fungal taxonomists? I know there are at least two very different groups of slime molds, namely the plasmodial vs. the cellular slime molds (Lycogala is one of the former), and they are so different that at least the cellular ones are probably considered to be in a separate phylum? Of course, it's the plasmodial ones that we encounter fairly frequently on our woodland walks, such as the "coral slime" you found a couple or three weeks ago.

Hi Jim: Here's my list of fungi from several walks on the Acadia Woodland Trails between 30 July and 8 August 2006. (Note that I do not list the fungi already recorded from previous walks.) Bjerkandera adusta (Smoky Polypore) on hardwood stump Chlorociboria aeruginascens (Blue-stain Fungus or Green Stain) on rotting log Fomes fomentarius (Tinder Polypore)on poplar stump Gloeophyllum sepiarium (Yellow-red Gill Polypore) on spruce log; also on a wooden bridge in the Harriet Irving Gardens Leccinium aurantiacum (Orange Bolete or Red-capped Scaber Stalk) on ground in mixed woods Lycogala epidendrum (Wolf's-milk Slime) on rotting log Phellinus igniarius (Flecked-flesh Polypore) on poplar stump Psathyrella candolleana (Common Psathyrella) on ground near hardwood stumps Trichaptum abietinum (one of the Violet Toothed Polypores) on spruce log Tyromyces chioneus (White Cheese Polypore) on conifer log along brook In addition there were several as-yet-unidentified species of Amanita and Russula, coral fungi, a small cup fungus on rotten wood, a firm-textured white polypore on willow logs, and a rusty-brown polypore on a spruce stump. I'm still working on some of these. Nancy
