Seen the Beranek redwood videos before? If not, here they are. Berakek has a pretty good narrating voice too.

Thanks for posting these Mario, enjoyed & found them very educational.

 

 

On another point, what decay fungi do you come across on the Redwoods on your travels.

 

Eg, Ganodermas, Phaelous etc.....

 

 

 

many thanks

Don't really see much of anything "on" the redwoods. But in the redwood forest, seems that sulphur shelf and ganoderma are common ones I see on decaying trees of other species.

 

Below is my son next to one Ganoderma. And from about one week ago, my brother next to another one of the same species, in the same park: Jedediah Smith redwoods state park.

 

Now I have no idea for the name of the mushrooms in the last pic. Those are from last autumn, half way down the trail to Tall Trees Grove in Redwood National Park. Other than the photo, I have no idea of spore color or anything. Maybe you can tell from the image. I barely know a dozen or so fungi.

Here's one more pic I found from Jedediah Smith redwoods of sulphur shelf.

 

The shirt ring a bell? Its a Silky shirt with "I saw" on the back. I much prefer greens and blue.

One of the Armillaria species would be my guess Mario.

I believe there are 9 seperate A. species in North America.

 

Thanks for sharing the shots.

 

Any idea on what Gano species that is?

 

Looks like it may be Ganoderma oregonense?

 

 

 

 

We call Sulphur shelf - "chicken of the woods" - Laetiporus sulphureus.

Have you ever eaten it?

Pretty certain its the oregonense. The one in that photo is 21" across, or 53 centimeters.

 

Have not tried any yet. Somewhat surprising, because its an easy ID, and one that's a sure find in autumn.

 

Recently, someone told me to just cook the fringe from around the edge. How much would you cut off for cooking?
