Phellinus punctatus is saprotrophic and mostly fruits from branches with soil contact, so this probably is (an Astkriecher of) the biotrophic parasitic P. igniarius.

 

what does that mean? Astkriecher and i will try to remember the word for latter reading!

It's German for "branch crawler or creeper", which means that the FB's grow as a resupinate layer on the lower side of the branches starting from the branches' attachment to the trunk as is shown in your first and third photo.

is that a branch or stem section?

Compartmentalisation on an Alder

 

Or no compartmentalisation at all, but demarcation lines of two or more mycelia instead. Were their any FB's of any fungi present ?

Hellao Ranger, As the others have suggested and hinted at, these black demarcation lines are bonderies between rival fungal communities rather than the representations of CODIT/reaction zone/barrier zones.

 

Nice log and shot though.

 

CODIT is really more anatomical structure than a true barrier persay.

 

The barrier zone (wall 4 of CODIT and the reaction zone are the only real barriers, and reaction zones are only viable if the tree is active and growing. There is potential for a great deal of activity during the dormant periods of tree growth.
