I had it growing all over some cut beech i had stacked in a corner outside for a while, came to pick them up to move them and i heard a tearing sound, in doing so it was trying to move several pieces at one time that had stuck together. Once i prized them apart, thats what they were covered in! I just scraped it off and its not come back since. Have they been exposed to the weather Saul or been anywhere with excess dampness?

Yes, it was under a drip in the warehouse.

Found these on Christmas eve, in a damp corner of one of the sheds on the farm.  Probably not tree related, but I thought they were interesting. Any ideas, anyone ?

Hair ice is a rare type of ice formation where the presence of a particular fungus in rotting wood produces thin strands of ice which resemble hair or candy floss.

Hi
Any ideas on this little thing?
It’s on a piece of hazel deadwood and soft to the touch.
Thanks

That’s likely to be Fomes fomentarius but need’s more images to be certain. Ideally when you’re trying to get an ID you need to present images of the top surface as well as the underside and where possible a slice/wedge of the flesh/trama from inside the bracket showing the colour and texture.

Thanks for the reply.

 

Unfortunately I didn't have a ladder to get up close.

 

Will have a read up on the bracket to see if it matches and what steps should be taken.

 

Thanks
