I had a great surprise this weekend. While splitting firewood, I found Brachycybe Lecontii. I was so excited. I didn’t realize they were native to this area
Sure is. It is the bottom layer of stack that has been sitting for ~4-5 years. The entire bottom row was rotten of course. We are going to build a cover and get the new wood off the ground.
Have you done an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) on what the effects will be of raising the firewood? Have you prepared a separate section where wood will be left to rot for future generations of Brachycybe ?
Nice find! Wish I had platydesmids just to find where I am, but they are all farther north. High time I tried to rear these again...
Apparently there are two species of Brachycybe in Alabama, B. lecontii and B. petasata.

I am leaving the rotting layer there to see how they progress. I added more hickory to the pile and covered with leaves. I hope they continue to do well there. I am making my husband move his location for the wood shed. :^)
But now you have me second guessing ID. Not 100% certain. I thought they were Lecontii but now that I look at the petasata...they may not be.
