Fungi ID

Afternoon all,

 

Was doing a minor crown lift on a pair of Scots Pine this afternoon and spotted a few different fungi within the drip line, possibly on the roots.

 

Two that I've not seen and couldn't spot obviously in the guides are attached.  They weren't there a few weeks ago when I went to quote, so they're fairly young, although some have been nibbled at.  Sorry the second pair of images isn't great but that was the best of what was left.

 

Any thoughts? Particularly keen to know if there are any likely decay issues.  I'm guessing not as they dont appear within the main guides, but you never know.

 

Cheers,

 

Ed

The first couple of pics could be some type of lactarius, possibly a saffron milkcap. I'm going on colouring as they don't look like great examples for an id but might give you somewhere to start. Mycorrhizal on pines if it is.

 

 

Certainly a possibility having just done a quick search online for that one.  Agreed that these don't look like routine examples but as they're emerging through a layer of stone chips and pine needles, perhaps that is having an impact on their form?

 

I need to pop back over the weekend to remove the last of the brash, so I'll see if I can get some better examples / pics.

 

Cheers.

Worth checking if it bruises or oozes. If it's the saffron milkcap the gills should bruise green and if cut the fungi should ooze an orangey sap.

 

 

Looks like it's not saffron milkcap - no bruising green (if anything, the orange colour of the flesh seems to intensify slightly) and no orangey sap (no sap at all for that matter).

 

Couldn't get any better pics than the original ones unfortunately.
