Phellinus igniarius - Willow bracket

[MaxJ]

Guys does the above tend to form mainly on the stem? My brother in law has a Willow with lots of deadwood in it with brackets that look similar to the P. igniarius pics found on the fungi directory. They are tennis ball size and all over the deadwood, the tree does look like its in bad shape.

 

Will try and get some pics soon.

I've mainly come across it on stems but occasionally on main scafold branches aswell.

 

Shots would be good

Ive just found a willow with FB all over it. Main trunk branches and old pruning cuts! Haven come across such a videspread infection and tree still standing before.

I only had crappy IPhone pics...

 

Couldnt even get proper focus on the higher ones....

 

But if you insist Sir!

[David Humphries]

They're just about acceptable.

 

I'll let you off this time

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How cold you got it at the mo?

 

Do you get any new myco fruiting at this time at all?

Snowing at the moment... last week was really mild (-5C) seems to last a few days more:001_smile:

Greminiella might do its thing and there is another one growing on old Pine that I cant remember the name of. Other than that there nothing in my area as far as Im aware.

Don't know the Greminiella at all Tobias, is it on coniferous.

 

What form does it take?

 

 

 

 

Appologies for the derail Max.

 

look forward to some shots of yours, if you get the chance

Sorry Max! Stick some photos up and we will tell you if it is Phellinus, Ill try to get around to take better pics of the tree, but its usually dark when I pass it.

Gremeniella is a nasty little bugger causing lots of damage over here esp after mild winters (or winters with snow in the trees)
