calling captain Hama, there's fungi on the starboard bow........

here be the brown pored Gano's.

 

First two are what I think are appla's, the last i'm convinced, is pfeifferi.

 

First two look like they've gone into a kinda hibernation, semi-desicated & then re-animated themselves.

 

Don't think they're what your really on about?

 

Will have a trawl through the files for the rigi/perenni issues.

Top of my head, I'm not sure I have seen either like you've noted.

 

 

But I will check.

reackonj first is pfiefferi too, can i see topside of middle shot?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Check these out Monkey, all Pfiefferi!

What makes you say the big white rimmed one is pfeifferi?

top side, pfiefferi!

 

im getting close to having these bad b......s worked out!

 

Not having scopes realy forces you to look closer and at other ways features that seperate them.

 

the fat lipped one is defo pfiefferi, had a yellow crusty aspect and was conected to same volume as more obvious brackets, the lip is also quiet dimpled.

 

i think the pfiefferi is saprophytic, latent in its hosts till ripe wood ages enough, hence we see it in the viods between butresses and more commonoly as starved little brackets as apposed to applanatum sized full monty jobs. got a realy good location for the piefferis now, what with this site, whip for applanatums all i need now is a good local for heavy australe colonies to wrap this one up.

We/me/you/I/thee, must get access to scopes.

 

I'm keen also to get hold of both volumes of Ryvardens European polypores.

I think the data within will help enormously.

 

 

 

I've noted cracking on pfeifferi, but no where near as pronounced as on the shot of the middle one of mine above.

 

That's why I feel that one particularly is appla.

Been so long since I had a look at the applanatums in whip, I had it in my mind that they wasnt prone to cracking, but Pfiefferi certainly is as it ages, its that waxy epidermis.

 

in you big middle bracket its got a blue hint/tint around the middle region where the dusts been smeared, aint any hues like that in applanatum and Im pretty sure applanatums pore layer stays smooth

 

 

arggghhh these ganodermas man, they sure do like to play games!

Maybe their all just Phellinus & there actually in disguise to keep us on our toes

Im going to make these brackets, the ganos my first serious study when i get them scopes!

 

15 years and im still trying to be certain!
