1. It had a less degraded bracket too and it was on fractured birch stem.

 

2.Not totally sure, it seems likely though.

 

3.I had an inkling but after my effort on the Pseudo trametes gibbosa I didn't want you to think I was obsessed!

We should not deny what we are.

 

I am pleased to be wrong then, Daedalea quercina is a better class of fungi!

 

You ever visited any ancient woods west of Cardiff?

furthest ive been that way is cardiff but not for woods. been to Moccas park up that way, and that was VERY cool, also got the heads up on some well secret ash pollards on private land close by that i went to see, totaly random finds out in the middle of some random valley and there i found three of the biggest wild pears (rare as rocking horse turd!) mate I love it up there.

Nice find, there are some trees in Herefordshire, amazing landscape.

Sadly, the further west you go the less special old trees there are. I am hoping to draw up a list of sites to go fungi finding next season, good start this week.

Couple of new photos of the Ash from my earlier post as I passed the other day and saw it'd been taken down.
