One of the main ident features of fungi is in thier Gills/pores, some being maze like others with small fine pores, others like Polyporus squamosus have angular pores. The shape and form of gills varies greatly also, and this aspect of fungi is really the first stage in acurate key use for identifying a given species. the two here are both pored species.

Trametes gibbosa "the lumpy bracket, close up of pores.

Heterobassidion annosum - spore surface. sorry no common name known to me.

Olive Oysterling. (Panellus serotinus)

This will be regular, and root rot & root fommes are two I have heard but Im not going to give common names as a rule, just when they are well stuck and not numerous.

 

I am so glad this thread is appreciated, I have spent so long photographing these things, reading about them and growing to be totaly absorbed by them I am only to glad to share what I have with all of you, some of this will NOT be in any txt book, least not one costing under a ton!

Due to requests for certain things and a lot of spelling mistakes and Reaction zone labbeled as barrier zone i am going to resart this as a new thread and start over with a clean slate no mistakes and both latin and all common names known. I will also add some other info from what I know and from my book list! all referenced properly of course!

 

I never knew there was so many fungi fiends amoung the arbs, so I will take this a little more seriously from now on and do it right!

a fine rack of Inonotus hispidus and a rather nice big macrolepiota procera (the field parasol)

 

go back to the ash in a few seasons and witness the birth of the necroses or "hispidus canker"
