Coolest Hitchhiker

[Pablo]

I got a new mushroom last week and this was attached to the rock, growing under.
It looks like some sort of cespitularia. So what do you guys think?

 

[KathyC]

That is very nice Pablo. Do you have a pic of it with less actinics so we can see more of it's true color?
Have you been able to narrow down its particular name any further?

 

[pmoneyt]

i had something like that, it turned out to be a kenya tree.

 

[mandown123]

hmm doesnt look like a kenya tree but it looks similar. pretty cool.

 

[Josh]

Very cool. Where did the mushroom come from?

 

[muntai]

definitely not cespitularia, look more like a kenya or young leather bud.

 

[gcfishreef]

Kind of looks like a zenia? a better picture would be needed for a exact id

 

[factorytrooper]

Looks like pulsing zenia. And if it is... it grows like wild fire.

 

[Josh]

Pablo, any update on this? I think it is xenia of some sort, and definitely not ordinary elongata.

BTW, the YEX is doing ok, looks like it grew a tiny bit.

Here is an updated photo. It looks like Capnella or green kenya tree?
A very slow grower but on of the most beautiful leather I have ever seen.
I will try to get a few frags ready for the MR frag swap.

 

[smoq]

Very cool, just like you described, a green kenya tree. Good luck with it

 

[tentacles]

Awesome find, save me a frag !

Btw the softies I got from you are doing great, already growing substantially (except for the african blue xenia, but that was to be expected).
