Evening all. Im a new member so go steady please?

 

These where at the base of a lime. There was two more cluster of two Stools. The trunk above them didn't sound hollow/soft but there was die back in the crown although the ground below was pretty heavily compacted so I put it down to that and a lack of maintenance.

 

Any ideas im all ears. Ive got my PTI in a few weeks so its a bit of a confidence knock coming up against some thing im completely stuck on.

Hello Terra firma, although I'm a little puzzled to your description, I'm inclined to agree with Mr Alinicoll that the images look like a mycorrhyzal Bolete species.

 

From host tree and from what I can see in these images, I would lean toward Xerocomus chrysenteron.

 

 

Out of interest, what do you mean by "the lower had tight gills"?

 

 

The fungi section on of the PTI is open book, and relatively straight forward. You are very unlikely to get mycorrhyzal fungi in the test.

 

My advice would be to concentrate more focus and resource on the practical inspection and tree law.
