Perreniporia fraxinea, de-mystified?

[David Humphries]

Sorry , wrong end of the stick, just used to him being slated like M Ellison, its defo a thing in this industry if you do any good people get a bit green eyed and resort to slagging off....

 

Apoligies

 

No worries AS,

 

I'd need a rocket the size of one of the Appolos, to get anywhere near kind of pedestal I'd require to be able to attack any of the players.

 

I like JFL, I had a really interesting chat with him at either Wimpole or Woburn last year around retaing dead wood in trees, and quite enjoy his presentational style.

 

Though dificult to entirely trust a man with a perchant toward rollneck jumpers

My only issue with JFL is using the T.H.R.E.A.T.S Abbreviation for his assesment methods. I think that was a bit naughty/silly because it imidietley puts the reader and Joe public on a negative standpoint. Therefore reinforcing the perception that we are all under some kind of attack from falling debris everywhere we go!

 

When some of the industry is trying to "reverse" this paranoid view, for the sake of diversity and eco sytem health.

so this here is rigidiporus due to the tubes being cinnamon coloured and the flesh pale??? could also be classed as a light fawn as described for perreniporia in lonsdale??? Confuses me still these ones. The tree this came off (i didnt remove it i might add) also had young fruiting bodies like the ones you posted hama at the beginning of this thread:confused1: HELP ME ...its driving me crazy. does anybody have a photo of each ones tubes as a comparison?

I too struggle with this Sean, in fact I strugle with most fungi (shhh!), and would welcome any light being shed on the matter from others.

 

To some degree I associate the fungi with the tree species observed upon but that seems to becoming an increasingly inaccurate methodology.

 

Had some one posted Hama's photos and asked what is it I'd have gone for Rigidiporus....now where did I leave that copy of the H&SaW Act???

 

Good post...n piccies, thanks!

Rigidoporus I reckon.....

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

sean your image is indeed rigidiporus, P. fraxinea is evenly coloured hence the name "fraxinea" meaning it is like the wood in colour and tone, and that applies throughout its body/flesh.

 

Perenniporia is also most frequently a large flat profile as aposed to rigidiporus which tends to be a deeper profiled fruit body.

 

Any discolouration of the tube layer indicates rigidiporus, even colour perenniporia.

 

this image was a first for me, perenniporia on Oak. Q. petrea/sessile

 

 

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Even coloured flesh of perenniporia fraxinea, as apposed to seans image a few posts back showing coloured tube layer of Rigidiporus Ulmarius

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]
