Hej from Denmark

I'm an amateur mycologist with several years experience in collecting fungi.
I'm not an expert, but know some about the mushrooms here in my region.

Your can find some of my fungi-pictures here:
http://www.in2.dk/svampe/svpic/frame1.htm
and my old not recently update list* of fungi pictures on the net at:
http://www.in2.dk/fungi/index.htm

*with too much work and the upcoming of google-picture search I didn't find it so important anymore - but it might still be useful to someone - despite of some broken links here and there.

Hope we can help each others in this forum.

Best regards

Hi Flemming and welcome to Birdforum from the Moderators and Staff.

Välkommen till Fågelforum, Flemming. Good to have more internationality here. I have Helvella lacunosa growing on my lawn, yummy! Once met danish mushroom scientist Rasmus Ejrnaes in Uppsala - säg hejsan från mig om du möter honom (fast kan vara att han inte minnas mig).

Hej Karwin,
I'll say hejsan to Rasmus when I meet him next time.

I just came back from a holiday in Norway, where there weren't much fungi. But fine weather and clean mountain air was good for the soul ;-)

Here in Denmark we have had a lot of rain the last month, so there's a lot of mushrooms allready. I collected a basket full of chantarelles to serve for my guests last night and there were also a lot of boletus and russula.
Seems like no one else have started looking - found an old Boletus aestivalis with a diameter around 75 cm - Not much yummy about that one, though - Well, maybe all the creep inside think different ;-)

Same weather goes still on in here. -Every time (three of them, om jag minns rätt) I've visited Danmark, I have needed a raincoat (and once my umbrella was torn in pieces by storm)...

Hi Flemming. I am well acquainted with your web site and used it to id a small and smelly mushroom I found in the UK. It turned out to be the aptly named Stinkling, Camarophyllopsis foetens. Many thanks!

Hi Leif [isn't that a danish name?]

Glad I could help you with the Camarophyllopsis - really stinks like naftalin balls from a pissoir, don't they?

Haven't seen them the last 5 years. They grew on a sloop at Blommehaven Camping in the forest south of Aarhus. But as more campists turned from tents to mobile homes they elevated the sloop and covered the fungi. Hopefully the mycelia can find it's way up to the surface again someday, if it hasn't been starved.

At least the beautiful Hygrocybe psittacina is back now - took this picture at Blommehaven yesterday:

It's a Norwegian name, and maybe Danish too. I'm English though, with some recent Irish blood, and no doubt some Norse blood from a 1,000 years back.

Yes it stinks like moth balls. (Someone had to tell me that since I have never smelt moth balls.) Actually I located them by smell alone. I smelt something odd, searched, and found a few metres away some smelly mushrooms. It took me two or three years to id them. They are not in any of my reference books, not even The Fungi of Switzerland.

I only know them from one area in Southern England. It is unimproved grassland i.e. free from fertilisers. It is an indicator species i.e. indicative of old grassland.

Those are nice Parrot Wax Caps. One of my favourite fungi! I have seen green ones, yellow ones and even rare white ones.
