Oak pip perhaps.

[David Humphries]

tubes may be too long though.

 

How big is this bracket sean. How many mils is the tube layer?

did think that........will possibly send a sample to the ecologist in the park.......he deals with all the red list data stuff and general fungi records.

make sure your finger prints aren't on it

 

 

W&CA, Schedule 8 (S.13a*)

I think it's pip.

 

Size, location, habitat.

 

all leads to it.

 

 

But we've been there before.

 

 

 

 

 

Have you got a grid reference for it sean, or could you get one?

 

If it is a pip Oak, it will more than likely be on Frdbi

i think pip too, especialy given the orange ( in one image)hue of the undeveloped flesh, which if fully developed goes a spongy orange
