  1. You can see the gills ok it and there are other types of fungi atop it. It's truly a magnificent and well preserved specimen and where I found it was in a rock bed of an apartment complex. I also possess a crystilized dragons heart if yall are interested in seeing that.
  2. I "rediscovered" a weird rock I found 6 years ago at a quarry near Belvidere, Illinois. The rocks exposed at the quarry are dolomitic ordovician Galena group. Last night, I took a closer look at it under a microscope and noticed that the spiny crystal structures seem to be formed by mycelium. I know mycelium breaks down rocks, but I'm curious to hear any thoughts/insight about this oddity.

    Parasitic Fungus in Amber?

    I frequently purchase a large amount of amber from someone I know in Burma. Most of these pieces I only have some idea of what's in them until I get them in hand and am able to look at them myself under my microscope. I recently received another large shipment and it included this piece in it. As soon as I started looking at the inclusion I knew I had to make a post here for more opinions on the piece before I get my hopes up to much. However to me this 100 percent looks like a parasitic fungus that infected a Diptera. I'm not an expert by any means, but I've always had an interest in mycology, specifically parasitic fungi such as Cordyceps. Before I get my hopes up, what do you all think? It's definitely attached to the Diptera. I looked at it from every angle possible. I will be getting a macro photography set up but that won't be for a few more months so unfortunately this is the best photos I can get. All opinions are welcome, thanks!!

    Possible fungi fossil

    Good day everyone, I was out over by the Ratone Plateau, not too far from the purgatory river, and came across these fungi like fossils. I have only heard that mushroom fossils were only found within amber but my father was thinking they were actual fungi fossils. What do you all think? They kind of look like the caps of mushrooms. Any help identifying what these are would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
  6. The Rhynie Chert preserves one of the oldest terrestrial ecosystems, which is a hot spring environment. It's Lower Devonian, and the oldest know harvestman was also found there. These are some photographs of my thin sections from this environment. This first thin section is one of my favourites, it has several Aglaophyton major plants that contain fungal cysts of Palaeomyces gordoni, containing spores. These are more Aglaophyton major cross sections. In this and the one above, there are a few vascular bundles, these consist of thin-walled protoxylem cells, surrounded by thicker metaxylem cells, which is then surrounded by the phloem. In the cortex of some of these is the mycorrhizal fungi Glomites rhyniensis. Their hyphae look like a darker-coloured ring. These both are Aglaophyton major. This one has Aglaophyton major, as well as Retusotriletes spores and some more Palaeomyces gordoni cysts without spores. This section contains a few Retusotriletes spores. This has the plant Horneophyton lignieri in it, which had a rhizoids instead of roots. In the upper left of this one is an arthropod coprolite consisting mostly of spores. Lastly, this is a piece of the Rhynie Chert containing Aglaophyton major.

    FOSSILIZED LICHEN FUNGI MUSHROOMS

    My backyard find, a few miles north west of Long Beach. I found the smaller pieces (which appear to be mushroom, then hit a large rock, removed the rock and saw a corner of this sticking out. Still working on cleaning it with a soft brush as it is VERY fragile!

    Paleomycology Fossil ID (Fossil First)

    I need help identifying this fossil, or eliminating possibilities. I found this while searching for Native American artifacts and other fossils. It was in a stream. Found in North East Nebraska. Geologic research says the area it was found is within the Ogallala formation from the Tertiary Period. Several members of a FB group think I might have a fossil fungi and have asked for samples,, which I am reluctant to attempt to chip off myself. Several of the photos show signs of fungi. I know that fossilized mushrooms are extremely rare in the fossil record, usually only being found encased in amber, and never in physical form. Thanks.

    Petrified Mushroom

    This was found in SW Washington, Pacific County. Looks like a petrified mushroom from reference books but have not come across this one in particular.

    Conc fossil ?

    Hello all, I found yesterday what I believe to be a large fossilized tree conk. I found this on top of a nearby mountain in the middle of a large rock slide area. I compared it to some living samples and it is very similar in structure. What do you think?
  15. Good evening to everyone, I am really very new to fossils and petrified items so I am at a loss as to what I may have and I need your help. My grandfather left me this piece when he passed away a few months ago and it was marked "Petrified Mushroom". I have included some photos for your review and if you have any questions please let me know. The mushroom, for lack of a better word, is about 22" long by 14" deep by about 3/8" in height. It weighs just about 74 grams and has a spot in the middle that looks like wood, it looks like it was cut or removed from a piece of wood maybe a tree. Any help anyone could provide would be extremely appreciated. If this is the wrong forum to ask about my item I deeply apologize, just let me know and I will remove the post right away. Thank you again and I hope everyone has a great week.
