Fungi in chestnut

[Steve Bullman]

ID on this one anyone?

trichoderma peltatum as a guess. 👍

Could be wrong, but isn’t it the start of ganoderma brackets early stage of the fungus. I’ve got similar on an old beech, it’s like it’s oozing out of the tree like expanding foam. Then turns into brackets.

I wondered if it was young polyporous squamosus, on the theme of not being grown up enough to decide what it is yet. Common on HC.

I would say ganoderma. Could also be early inonotus dryadeus starts at butt of oaks same colour.

I’m glad someone else agrees with me I always said this was Ganoderma the Estate I worked at called in experts who said no it was Inonotus
