The recent rain we've had, has produced a few fungi crops, these ones are
growing on a log in my garden.

Do you know what they are? I don't recognise them.

Logs are favourite places for fungi, I always have a few in the garden.
Sadly, when I've had splendid crops of, say, oyster mushrooms they only come
for one season :-(

No I have no idea of their names.

Are these Antipodean mushrooms? They don't look very familiar to me.

[Bigger question]: are there mushrooms in other parts of the world that
people in, e.g. U.K., Poland, Canada, Vanuatu or wherever have never seen?
Or does mushroom spawn blow about the planet so that we here in U.K. should
have the same ones as everybody else on the planet?

Any answers?

I'm sure there are geographical sdifferences.

By the way, it wouldn't be mushroom *spawn* flying but mushroom *spores*,
which are incredibly light and are probably present on the moon :-)

I am going to try to answer the questions of Mary, Someone and
Marutchi. First, using an age-old mycological technique known as WAG
(Wild-Assed-Guess) I'd say; since it was small, growing on wood,
yellowish in color, and slightly granular-looking, I'd guess it was a
Cystoderma sp. These are small mushrooms allied with the Meadow
Mushroom but of questionable edibility.

Second, the answer to Marutchi's questions about mushroom distribution
is Both. Many mushrooms are resticted, because they are associated
with a specific tree. For instance one assoc. with Austrian pine may
have been originally found only in central Europe. Some are less
demanding, so one assoc. with white oaks may be world-wide, in the
Northern Hemisphere. Those assoc. with pastures, deserts and
grasslands have very wide distribution, so that one found here in
Idaho may also be found in Australia, Namibia, Patagonia and
Kazhakstan.
