Trametes Gibbosa.

Trametes versicolour.

 

first stump

 

broken branch of willow, Daedaleopsis confrogosa

 

whats the first one here, probably Stereum rugosum

 

hard to tell some but you have some too!

 

Thanks, I've noticed trametes and before, also bjerkandera adusta and stereum hirsutum but not the other two.

What is the second one in post ten?

[Kat1e]

The yellow, flat, flowery one I think is Xanthoria parientina.

 

Waiting to be corrected!

 

Thanks, had no idea about that!

Velvet shank? I thought I'd seen those before but recall a much darker colour on part of them? Thanks.

 

Kat1e, if you look at your images of them youll see the younger fruits are orange stemmed, and the mature one with upward turned cap has the typical dark brown to black velvet appreance more typicaly asociated with the species.

trametes gibbosa is a pretty dead cert.

[Kat1e]

Ah yes, thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't noticed the different colour, thought it was the lighting. They were in a very awkward spot so I didn't get a good look- just stuck my hand in, vaguely aimed the camera without looking, pressed the button and hoped for the best!

Thanks, had no idea about that!

 

Its very common. You will see it on the splash zone of a rocky shore or harbour. It likes riparian trees, and doesnt mind poor air quality. Unlike some bearded lichens which are an indicator of good air quality.

OK thanks, the trametes gibbosa I've been shown before didn't look like that one top, perhaps just how mature it is?

Yes it looks familiar, I'm sure I've seen plenty of it! Just had no idea what it was, so thanks!

all we seem to get is the nitrogen tolerant species round here:sneaky2: would love to see more species. I am planning to go to the Caladonian at some point, should be some cool lichens up there! take me climbing gear of course.
