Fungi on beech

[Luckyleaf]

 

What do we recon to this ? Host beech 2 metres up the stem, I was thinking an old laetiporus :-/

First one may be Rigidoporous, the pores look orange/cinamon.

 

 

If you cut a wedge out you get to see the flesh and pore layer which helps with identification.

Here are some pics of the first one

David do you think the 2nd and 3rd pics could be rigidoporus also ? They all seem quite localised between 2m and 3m some on the main stem and others on the codominal stems. The crown breaks at about 2.5m into 3 stems. The fruiting bodies seem to originate from old large pruning wounds. The crown is exhibiting a fair amount of die back also. I may get some resistograph testing to find the extent of the decay.

Wedge confirms the bracket as Rigidoporous.

 

The other samples could also be Rigidoporous.

David Is this G.pfeifferi ? Host beech again !

[David Humphries]

I would imagine this is either applanatum or australe.

 

 

 

I would lean toward applanatum, but microscopy to confirm which.
