Karsty Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Ok, not actually a plant, but in some ways similar... Anyone have this pretty little thing growing in their pots?... I've got it popping up all over the place, although not in the CP pots... Looks like Lepiota to me - https://photos.app.goo.gl/oZh0nYcnObNhL9B93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsty Posted September 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) Ah! now it has moved into the CPs - this one is the Nepenthes Ventrata. https://photos.app.goo.gl/HjFW0xzo8MF9fOr13 Edited September 29, 2017 by Karsty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcz Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Nice specimens. It is for sure a Leucocoprinus. I do not see the colour of the scales very accurately, and Leucocoprinus species are often difficult to distinguish, but if the scales are definitely lilac-purplish it may be L. ianthinus/L. lilacinogranulosus (depending if you consider them as different species or not).

Karsty Posted September 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Thanks jcz, Looking at some other photos, it does look very much like L. ianthinus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsty Posted September 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) Some from the next morning. They are very short-lived!.... https://photos.app.goo.gl/6QxthpJMGzs7fHmw2 https://photos.app.goo.gl/STg77Z1jnwdiEOLz2 https://photos.app.goo.gl/6GgmNta7mOHjgovw2 https://photos.app.goo.gl/FKb0csNO5Mi2l9G03 It's hard to get the brightness and colours right, but the scales do have a hint of lilac, but they mainly come across as brown.

Karsty Posted September 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Here's a different species that has appeared in another Nepenthes... https://photos.app.goo.gl/CN3v1gYaljwLpPFy1 https://photos.app.goo.gl/4F9O3hd8yW3RlKwe2 https://photos.app.goo.gl/vc7ZwfMvlbteJZgN2 https://photos.app.goo.gl/cfZzJJZoDJhQMl0X2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcz Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 So you are clearly using Sphagnum as potting media! This last one is linked with Sphagnum. It looks like the very common Galerina paludosa, although there are some species (and even different genera) of Fungi growing on Sphagnum and developing fruitbodies with a close appearance.
