Fungi on Large Fir tree

[DBHabMan]

Started a thread on this last year but didn't have photos of underneath. It has reappeared again and relevant photo attached. (Tried to update the old thread but site wouldn't let me)

 

Any info much appreciated, thank you. <<EDIT: Apologies for poor quality and size of photos, don’t know what’s gone wrong, having problems viewing forum on safari for some reason hence why I started new thread. >>

Problem with forum using Safari

Compare to Hypholoma capnoides or Pholiota sp. Just ideas, I'm far from certain!

Looks superficially like Pholiota. You'll have to remind us of the situation. Host species?

It’s on a big old silver fir, has a bit of decay at the very top. Quite close to building hence my concern.

thanks

In the second image, can I see the remains of a veil on the stem?

[DBHabMan]

Sorry about the poor photos, I’ll try and put them on the iPad and re upload them. Simply can’t use the forum with safari on the Mac. It used to be so don’t know what’s happened.

Nope no better and this file is actually bigger than the photos I uploaded on the thread I started last year....

How come?

Hello, I can see all the posts in the topic when I’m not logged in but when I do log in I can only see the original post and below it is just blank. Really weird. Didn’t happen before so not sure what’s changed? No apparent problems on other forums I subscribe to. Bit of a puzzler. Works fine on iPad.
