phellinus igniarius??

[cerneARB]

looked at this today on a beech.

 

Found it at the base of the tree in the buttress , think its a root rotter. Its woody and perinnieal , fan shaped and hard,black all over , no pores visable on the underside. i thought it was Ustulina deusta but that hasnt got any long pores this one has.

 

Ive gone through some books and i think its P. igniarius.Any ideas guys and gals.

 

sorry about the un david baily photos.

can you narrow it down to species do you think.

 

Checked out your old thread bundle, the cracking is in common with P.igniarius.

I thought phellinus igniarius was a top rotter and to quote i found this on a beech on the buttress.

i just checked a book and it says P.igniarius is a trunk rotter yes..mmmm?

 

may be a ganoderma then david. The only thig is that ganoderma that im looking at in books has white pore undersides , this one is all black underneath.

Iwould say ganoderma adspersum fruiting bodies grow at stem base and very rarely high. interestingly i have just found a turkey oak with inonotus dryadeus at the butt and inonotus hispidus about 2-3 metres high. ps it is only quercus cerris.
