Vuilleminia comedens- the waxy crust

this is a common fungus, often over looked, usualy on oak deadwood. Peeling layers of bark are the give away for the presence.

 

Heterobasidion annosum- the root rot (here on coppiced Hazel Corylus avellana)

Fine shots Tony.

 

I still don't have any decent dryadeus shots in my little files

.

 

I will do you a deal, i will get you the finest dryadeus viewing if you get me a great example to view of the Fommes i want that grey one!

 

 

 

Been trawling through the old files & realised that only last autumn I came across this lump of dryad whilst down in Dorset the morning after downing far too much Whiskey (40th) and out for a "clear the head" morning stroll.

 

Had fista on the otherside of the Tree.

Interesting combo.

 

That's my non Arb mates walking off in the first shot muttering; what's that nutter doing photographing the base of a tree for?

 

Still want to get a classic shot though

Thought I had better put these on this thread too. These were on a wall half way down a 40m alley way devoid of any plant material.. As David mentioned they are probably have eau d'canine all over them. I've only ever had fresh morel in the Himalaya in India... jeez they were good, didn't touch these ones:thumbup:

The morels seem to be a bizzare breed, even rising from the ash within fireplaces and BBQ's!

They seem really dried out and dirty, because of where they were. but quite normal apart from that.I looked at some on wiki... now they were weird!

Well today was, as I predicted, a bumper and very special foray for me. With perfect weather and temps I couldnt go anywhere but whippendell of course, just wouldnt have seemed right!

 

Every now and then I have a day that will always be in my memory and today was one of those special outings, so special I walked for six hours, and managed to load two flash cards!

 

Going to be a few posts today!

 

Polyporus squamosus

A.K.A the pheasents back or dryads saddle.
