Remains of last years I. hispidus brackets at two locations on this Ash.

Saw several hispidus related failures on one of the big shoots i go to. Shall get some pictures when i am down that way next.

Didn't quite focus but Daedaleopsis confragosa on willow.

Here we have a couple of fungi I really wanted to snap.

Unfortunately, they were protected by a very slimy, smelly bog. Sadly, I am a sucker for fungi and attempted to get close. Didn't quite make it!

 

Anyway, I am going for Bjerkandera adusta or Trametes versicolor up top and a weak guess at Hypholoma capnoides??

 

Just glad no one saw me stuck in the prime evil ooze:lol:

I have held a sample of I. hispidus but never seen it in it's habitat. Is it rare in the west?

Never looked in the west, but there are about as many hispidus brackets as there are ash trees here in the south east!

Top marks for effort, but no idea on the fung from the shot.

H. capnoides is restricted to (stumps of) dead coniferous wood.

Sorry Fungus, trying to stay in the habit of using the scientific names, I meant H. fasciculare. Thanks for the correction:thumbup1:

I think I might have seen my first Inonotus hispidus in it's natural habitat today.

A black, vaguely bracket shaped thing perched on the end of a broken, upright branch about forty feet up a really old ash, seriously hollow at the base.
