Palest pink corals

In this rainy season, there are always more mushrooms. These are corals:

This one has a slight pink tinge.

Almost pure white.

There are a variety of coral mushrooms in this area, all very similar, sometimes piggy-backing on each other, changing the colours. A note on the pink coral mushroom, Ramaria formosa, in my guide book says, "The striking pink coral mushroom complex is actually several similar species that are well known for being difficult to distinguish." The same goes for the other corals.

And another.

Distinguishing characteristics are the colour, the shape of the tips, maybe the texture. But mostly, microscopic details, not visible "in the wild".

En esta temporada lluviosa, siempre hay hongos. Estos son hongos coralinos.

El primero tiene un tenue color de rosa.

Hay una variedad de hongos coralinos en este rumbo, todos muy similares. Algunos se combinan con otros de otra especie; los colores cambian. Una nota en mi libro guía adiverte: —El hongo coralino de color de rosa fuerte es en verdad varias especies parecidas que se sabe que son difíciles de distinguir. — Lo mismo se puede aplicar a los otros coralinos.

Las características que ayudan a identificarlos son el color, la forma de las puntas del hongo, tal vez la consistencia. Pero mayormente, son los detalles microscópicos, los cuales no se pueden ver "in situ".

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
