Oystercatcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Oystercatchers are a group of waders; they form the family Haematopodidae, which has a single genus, Haematopus. They are large obvious and noisy plover-like birds, with strong bills used for smashing or prising open molluscs. The pointed shape is thought to prevent the eggs from rolling down a steep slope. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Oystercatcher   (198 words)

The American Oyster-catcher I have never met with the European Oyster-catcher, Haematopus Ostralegus, in any part of the United States, and, although I cannot of course aver that it does not occur here, I believe that the American or Mantled Oyster-catcher has been confounded with it by WILSON and others. Lower mandible straight, the dorsal line at the base sloping upwards, at one-third of the length of the bill bulging, then straightish and slightly ascending, the tip narrower than that of the upper mandible, the sides at the base sloping upwards, and having a shallow groove, towards the end becoming perpendicular. The bill differs from that of the Haematopus Ostralegus in being much deeper at the bulging part, much more attenuated towards the point, and proportionally longer. www.audubon.org /bird/BoA/F35_G4a.html   (2046 words)

Mycena haematopus, the blood-foot mushroom, Tom Volk's Fungus of the Month for June 2002 Mycena haematopus generally grows throughout the spring, summer, and fall in small clusters on hardwood trees, usually well-rotted logs that have been on the ground for a while. I believe they cause a white rot of wood (click here for a good explanation of the types of wood rotters) but seem to grow later in the rotting process. haematopus on a log that still had the bark on it, but only on well-rotted wood. botit.botany.wisc.edu /toms_fungi/jun2002.html   (952 words)

Mycena haematopus (MushroomExpert.Com) Sometimes called the "Bleeding Mycena," Mycena haematopus is one of the few Mycena species that is easily recognized. Mycena haematopus is probably edible, but it is much too small to consider collecting for the table. Ecology: Saprobic on decaying wood of hardwoods and conifers (usually on logs that are well decayed and without bark); growing in dense clusters (sometimes singly or scattered); causing a white rot, according to Tom Volk (click the link below); widely distributed in North America; spring, summer, and fall; common. www.mushroomexpert.com /mycena_haematopus.html   (321 words)

California Fungi: Mycena haematopus Mycena haematopus is characterized by a vinaceous-brown to pinkish-brown, conspicuously striate cap, often with a hairy margin when young and the tendency of the stipe to bleed a reddish juice when cut. It can be distinguished from other bleeding Mycenas by its preference for fruiting on rotting wood.

Townsend's Oyster-Catcher I have compared it with some specimens brought from the coast of California, with which it agrees in all respects. It is not improbable however, that, like our Haematopus palliatus, which in summer extends from the shores of South America to those of Labrador, the present species, as well as H. Bachmani, courses the shores of the Pacific Ocean to a very high latitude. I have taken the liberty of naming it after its discoverer. www.audubon.org /bird/BoA/F35_G4c.html   (438 words)
