Auricularia mesenterica A.K.A the tripe fungus


Recommended Posts

Before i go into details about decay by this fungi I thought I would start with some useful identification shots. There is a lot to tell regarding this discrete little rotter, much more to tell than the literature would suggest.

 

i will be adding to this a lot over the next day or two, should act as a usefull reference on this fungi (I hope):001_smile:

need some of those for the directory Mr dryad :thumbup1:

 

 

 

Will be interested to hear what you've found it on.

so far off the top of my head in order of most common host beech, ash, Oak sycamore and apple, may add a few more to that later:001_cool:

 

youll be suprised what it can do to an oak too! and yet almost less significant on ash:001_huh::confused1:

Tony,

Compliments :thumbup1:, very well documented. I have seen this effect never before, as in the Netherlands Auricularia mesenterica thus far only grows on trunks and especially on vertical saw cuts of dead Ulmus and Populus. And would you exclude Armillaria lutea being responsible for the hollowing of the trees in the photo's with the black inside (melanine plaques ?) as shown in my photo of a hollow Ulmus in my album under Rhizomorphs Armillaria ?

Gerrit, IME this fungi has some serious capacity, and implications. I now recognise the body language of its decay in the beech woods, it is very common here, but very seldom fruits, i do not know why, and suspect this is the reason for it going unnoticed for so long.

 

I was fortunate to have got most of these images on one very prominent site (private) it was so strong in its presence there I had enough opportunity to document its full potential.

 

It tends to be in pocketed communities of trees, amoung healthy growth with no signs, I am very keen to establish its combative strength against more common fungi of beech etc, in Oak this fungi causes a very poor response to reduction work, and really does cause a lot of dysfunction and weakening via wound colonisation.

 

If your ever over here I would get great pleasure from showing you these sites.:thumbup1:
