Cryptomyces maximus

Cryptomyces maximus (commonly known as willow blister) is a species of fungus within the genus Cryptomyces .

Cryptomyces maximus is the only species listed on The world's 100 most threatened species as being native to the British Isles. [1]

Climate

Cyprotomyces Maximus is a species of fungus comes from willow species as discovered in Finland in 1913. It prefers to live in damp and humid environments such as swamps. They can be found in a variety of different climates also so it is not just bound to one. They prefer both alpine and mountainous areas, along with the lowlands of Germany and the UK. [2]

Inocybe salicis is an uncommon species of fungus found in association with willow in Europe. The species produces small, brown or yellow mushrooms with caps up to 2.5 centimetres (1.0 in) across, with stems up to 3.5 centimetres (1.4 in) long. The species is similar in appearance to several other closely related species in the genus Inocybe that also associate with willow, and so is most reliably differentiated microscopically.

<i>Inocybe saliceticola</i> Species of fungus in the family Inocybaceae found in the Nordic countries

Inocybe saliceticola is a fungus found in moist habitats in the Nordic countries. The species produces brown mushrooms with caps of varying shapes up to 40 millimetres (1.6 in) across, and tall, thin stems up to 62 mm (2.4 in) long. At the base of the stem is a large and well-defined "bulb". The species produces unusually shaped, irregular spores, each with a few thick protrusions. This feature helps differentiate it from other species that would otherwise be similar in appearance and habit.

<i>Boletus pinetorum</i> Species of fungus

Boletus pinetorum is an edible bolete fungus generally found in Fennoscandia. It was described as a new species in 2009 from a collection made in Finland. It resembles the popular Boletus edulis but is distinct from that species genetically. Fruitbodies of B. pinetorum have greyish brown caps with wrinkled margins. The bolete is mycorrhizal with pines, and grows in dry sandy pine heaths and dry coniferous forests.

Phellodon secretus is a rare species of tooth fungus in the family Bankeraceae. Described as new to science in 2003, it is found in Finland, where it grows under the fallen trunks of pine trees. It somewhat resembles Phellodon connatus, but has a thinner stipe, a softer, cotton-like cap, and smaller, rounder spores.
