coriolopsis trogii/trametes trogii ?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

trying to find info on this one is a grind! so knowing of the power of the google a thread with a title to bring in viewers that may have something to add confirm or deny this find.

 

A sample will be collected for Kew in due course but for now, if youre finding this through a google search and know something about it, come and say hello and tell me what you know!

 

as far as I can see of the six records in the uk 3 where made by the same guy, so thats only 4 as far as im concerned, as this indicates a local "natural nieghbourhood"

 

i dont own a scope (yet) so try to help on a macro rather than micro basis.

 

thanks to anyone who elaborates here:thumbup:

It is intresting that there is a lack of info on this one.

 

Not in Jordans, or Collins.

Bio-images makes no reference.

 

Roger Phillips shows it in a different formation.

 

Rogers Mushrooms - Coriolopsis trogii Mushroom

 

But Kiezer has it (as you know) like your find, both in photo & info.

 

Looks to be a very public site judging by your shots.

That in itself is suprising if it's as rare as the books & frdbi are making out.

 

Very interesting find Tony.

found this Russian link and translated it.

 

Doesn't scan great in translation, but offers a few bits n pieces

funny aint it, all I do is read the books for indents and see one i fancy that sticks in my mind, when I finally see one it goes in the found box, one more off the list, but this time ive found something that is more interesting than I could have imagined. interesting because no one seems to have much to say, not a surprise considering its lack of presence in our islands habitats, one thing else that hits a note is its open spot and elevation. I am coinvinced of the presence of foreign spore reaching these locations in england, ashridge is one also

im convinced, it was on poplar!

bumped for Fungus!

I am not, because judged from the photo's, it looks more like Coriolopsis gallica, which has a darker brown surface than the (much) paler C. trogii and both species grow on poplar. So 100 % sure : microscope.

Seems to be more likely now ive seen this, not that I doubted Fungus just went looking for C. gallica, iether way I now must do whatever it takes to get a decent scope and a trinocular one at that. time to sell off some less important assets!
