Rare Fungi

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Do Euro-fungi count?

 

I don't know what this is, some kind of Phellinus perhaps. I think it might be Phellinus torulosus - it's probably not rare at all, but I've never heard of it. It's a perennial bracket with a hard upper surface, smooth underside and velvety reddy-brown margin.

 

 

 

 

It's on a Judas tree in Rome.

 

 

Thats rare enough for this thread fella!

Nice set, can you remember how far off the trunk they were?

 

 

Got three or four site here at HH, and one of them is on a mown strip of grass, along a line of vet Oaks.

Going to get the tractor boys to mow around them this year.

 

Rdl an all that

They where only about 2mters off the trunk less maybe. are they mycos? or similar to crispa?

[David Humphries]

Got it listed as parasitic.

 

Ours all tend to be the same distance from trunk.

That makes sense, because I once found it on top of a sycamore stump about 2 mtres high, I almost forgot i found it like that till i asked if it was myco!

Now.....need to do a little more research before I'm happy, but i believe this to be a very young forming Piptoporus quercinus - Oak polypore, here on the retained dead wood on this Oak.

 

Stumbled across it today at the Whip.

 

Due to it's size I originally thought it was a set of Enteridiums.

So knocked a bit off to get a closer look

 

Will have to get back to check on it.

Love it david, you little star, where was it?

[David Humphries]

Now that would be tellin

 

 

I'll try and get me bearings and post up a location for ya.

 

One of us will need to get up there to confirm it, when it matures.
