Orders: Exobasidiales, Dacrymycetales, Aphyllophorales 
(35 illustrations)



Exobasidiales - Exobasidium attacking leaves of a Vaccinium (Ericaceae).
   X 1



Dacrymycetales - Dacrymyces fruiting on rotten wood.
   X 1



Dacrymycetales - basidiomata of Guepiniopsis chrysocomus.



Dacrymycetales - "tuning fork" basidia of Dacrymyces at various stages of development.
   X 400



Aphyllophorales - Corticiaceae - resupinate (spread out) basidioma of Byssocorticium on dead bark
   X 1/2



Aphyllophorales - Corticiaceae - Osteomorpha anamorph. Clamped (and therefore dikaryotic) hyphae are breaking up across the clamps into thallic-arthric conidia
   X 1000



Aphyllophorales - Corticiaceae - blastic-sympodial anamorph of Sistotrema (SEM).
   X 2000



Aphyllophorales - Thelephoraceae - basidiomata of Thelephora terrestris, an ectomycorrhizal species common in tree nurseries.
   X 1/2



Aphyllophorales - Clavariaceae - Clavariadelphus truncatus
   X 1



Aphyllophorales - Clavariaceae - Clavulinopsis fusiformis
   X 1



Aphyllophorales - Clavariaceae - Ramaria aurea

Aphyllophorales - Clavariaceae - Ramaria araiospora var. rubella.
X 1/2



Aphyllophorales - Cantharellaceae - Cantharellus cibarius, the chanterelle
X 1/2.



Aphyllophorales - Cantharellaceae - Cantharellus tubaeformis
X 1/2



Aphyllophorales - Cantharellaceae - Sparassis crispa
X 1/4



Aphyllophorales - Cantharellaceae - Craterellus cornucopioides, the horn of plenty.
   X 1/2



Aphyllophorales - Cantharellaceae - Gomphus floccosus.
   X 3/5



 

Aphyllophorales - Coniophoraceae - Serpula lacrymans, the 'dry rot' fungus.

 



 

Aphyllophorales - Hydnaceae - Hericium caput-ursi, the wood urchin.
X 1/3

 



Aphyllophorales - Hydnaceae - Dentinum repandum, the sweet tooth.
   X 1/2



Aphyllophorales - Hydnaceae - Hydnellum, one of the stipitate (stalked) hydnaceae. Unlike Dentinum, the hydnellums have a tough, corky or woody consistency.
   X 1/2



Aphyllophorales - Hydnaceae - Sarcodon scabrosum.
  X 1



Aphyllophorales - Schizophyllaceae - Schizophyllum commune, the 'split gill'

Aphyllophorales - Polyporaceae - perennating basidiomata of Ganoderma applanatum.



Aphyllophorales - Polyporaceae - tube mouths seen from below.
   X 5



Aphyllophorales - Polyporaceae - transverse section of tubes: the hymenium is stained light blue.
   X 50



Aphyllophorales - Polyporaceae - three-year-old basidioma of Ganoderma applanatum with three tube layers.
   X 1/3



Aphyllophorales - Polyporaceae - large specimen of Ganoderma applanatum (almost 1 metre across)

Aphyllophorales - Polyporaceae - large basidioma of Bridgeoporus (Oxyporus) nobilissimus.



Aphyllophorales - Polyporaceae - edible basidiomata of Laetiporus sulphureus, the sulphur shelf.
   X 1/10



Aphyllophorales - Polyporaceae -  Heterobasidion annosum, a serious tree parasite
   X 1/4.



Aphyllophorales - Polyporaceae - a conidiophore of the Spiniger anamorph of Heterobasidion annosum. The conidia have all seceded, but one developed at the tip of each spine (blastic-synchronous) (SEM).
   X 2000



Aphyllophorales - Polyporaceae - the Ptychogaster anamorph of Trametes. Note the   alternate-arthric conidia. (SEM)
   X 2000



Aphyllophorales - Polyporaceae - cubical brown rot  (only cellulose assimilated)



Aphyllophorales - Polyporaceae - white rot (both cellulose and lignin degraded)
