Bryophyte Stories – First Record of Lamprospora and Octospora Species in Hungary from Our Garden

In December 2022, we participated in an excellent workshop on bryophyte fungi organized by the MMT. The species identification portion of the Vértes weekend focused on the known domestic representatives of genera such as Octospora, Lamprospora, Bryoscyphus, etc., and we continued the work here at home!

Briofil sztorik – hazai új Lamprospora és Octospora faj a kertünkből

Még 2022. decemberében vettünk részt az MMT szervezésében egy a briofil gombákhoz kapcsolódó, remek workshopon. A vértesi hétvége fajismereti része az Octospora, Lamprospora, Bryoscyphus, stb. nemzetségek eddig ismert hazai faji képviselőinek szemléje volt, itthon folytattuk!

Pseudolaccaria pachyphylla – another first record for Hungary

On the last day of 2020, we collected these omphalinoid fruiting bodies from the Himfa park forest. They were found emerging from a mossy cliff and seemingly from the soil. They had no distinct smell, and there was no visible green thallus around the base of the stipe.
