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 :-( Mary |

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? someone |

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.
