Kingdom Cyanobacteria
Cyanobacteria sp. (Blue-green Algae sp.)
A fairly vague identification, but warning signs around Whitlingham
Little Broad from 27/8/00 were accompanied by clumps of murkiness
in the water. I don’t know if there is one usual species involved
or many.
Kingdom Fungi
A total of 136 “species” were recorded, albeit that some
identifications were rather tentative. A great many fungi went unidentified,
including many dull and small species but some which were quite striking.
In particular, upper Dee-side in early September had loads of fungi
but I had no idea what most of them were. Additionally, a distinctive
yellow gooey mess found on a twig at Rishbeth was presumed to be some
sort of slime mould but I’ve not found any references covering
these. The whole group was hard work but the year provided a good
introduction to them. I don’t know if I’ll take them much
further in future years though.
Phylum Deuteromycota
Aspergillus sp. / Penicillin sp.
Mould noted growing on bread left in our back room to be put out to
the birds was presumably something like this, although I wouldn’t
claim any great knowledge.
Phylum Amastigomycota
Class Hymenoascomycetes
Order Xylariales
Daldinia concentrica (King Alfred's Cakes)
Noted initially at Caistor Fort on 1/2, and at the Nunnery on 9/2;
unrecorded after this but fairly widespread on Ash.
Xylaria hypoxylon (Candle Snuff Fungus)
First noted on Barnhamcross Common on 27/1, then at Caistor Fort,
Walberswick and elsewhere. A similar looking fungus at Two Mile Bottom
on 11/10 on a beech log was unforked at the tips so could have been
a different species?
Xylaria polymorpha (Dead Man's Fingers)
This distinctive looking fungus was pointed out to me at Hockering
Wood on 23/9 by members of the Norfolk Wildlife Trust.
Order Hypocreales
Nectria cinnabarina (Coral Spot)
Distinctive orange spots on wood, first noted at The Nunnery on 9/2
then elsewhere.
Subclass “Lecanoromycetideae”
Cladonia sp.
Lichens with green “elf-caps” first noted on Barnhamcross
Common on 31/1 then elsewhere - this type of lichen again obvious
in December.
Pleurococcus sp. / Desmococcus sp.
The ubiquitous fine green lichen spotting on tree trunks was apparently
one of these two genera, although little information to hand.
{Other lichens}
Additional species of lichens were noted widely, especially in Dee-side
in Scotland where some particularly interesting specimens seen at
Linn of Dee, but also some in the Brecks. No real effort was put into
the group, however, so many species went unrecorded.
Order Phacidiales
Rhytisma acerinum (Tar Spot)
A common fungus on Sycamore leaves and first noted at The Nunnery
on 9/2.
Rhizina undulata (Pine Fire Fungus)
Noted on Barnhamcross Common on 20/7 and still visible here on 21/8.
