White Saddle Fungus

DateSun 2019-12-01

White saddle fungus, Helvella crispa, one of several growing on the ground under an oak tree.

This one had more of a 'saddle' top:

I took it as a specimen:

It yielded the following spores (mgnification x600, image width 86um):

These are about 16x11um which agrees well with the 16-21 x 10-14um given at MushroomExpert.com.

Specimen taken in Whiteknights Park, Reading, UK, on 2019-11-30.
