Unknown mushroom

ecology and location

I have encountered this mushroom on an old stump of oil palm tree in decay. It was in DRC, in the equatorial part of the country.

Characteristic

As you can see, it is a medium size mushroom (cap of around 3 to 6 centimetres of diametre).

The cap is colorfull,yellow, tangerine and red. We can observe scares in concentric disposition.

The mushroom shown here lives on wood in decay. In reality, the decaying is partly due to the action of the mushrooms themselves. By their action, they extract the nutriments they needs from the decaying of the wood and they return to the soil the organic mater contributing to the increase of the humus and the fertility of the top soil.

The picture

The picture was taken in the morning under a good light from the sunshine. With a sensitivity equivalent to ISO-200 and an apperture of f/8, the speed was 1/100, with a focal legnth of 6 millimetres.

Post treatment

Recropping and resizing ; improvement of the gamma and the sharpness with Olympus studio.

Hi Philippe,
Fantastic photo. But even I don't have a clue what this might be. Microscopic analysation is a must. Excellent level and color adjustment, maybe the crop is a little too narrow but everything else is fabulous.
Best regards, László

beautiful colours and very clear details.
Thanks for showing
Pierre

Bonjour Philippe,
Tu as donc fait l'inventaire des champignos africains! Bonne idée, même si tu ne connais pas leur nom. Mais peut-être ces iamges serviront à d'autres. De toute manière, tes photos sont toujours superbes. Ici le cadrage est un peu serré, mais les détails du chapeau sont magnifiques.
Bon après-midi
Anne
