*Stereum complicatum. Rogers mushrooms says it grows on dead sticks and stumps mainly ok but the limb is still very much alive.

Did you consider Peniophora quercina for 13 & 14 ?

 

Also there appears to be something similar in pictures 15/16 on the top of the oak branch which perhaps suggests that there is a strip of dysfunction running along the top of the branch under the moss.

I did but it didnt have the rolled up edges like quercina. I think that is just a smooth piece of bark. It is a massive sunseeking limb which gets hit a fair bit by southwesterlys. I'll let my colleagues know that it possibly has dysfunction due to the fungus. If/when it falls it will miss the car park but would rather have it out before it snaps out.

Peziza cerea

I looked at the far side of a very long Oak limb (see bottom of post #229) It appear it also has Silver leaf fungus growing along the same line which looks to have been caused by an old stub wound which hasnt sealed yet. The plan is to remove that limb and the limb above it as both are extremely long lever arms.

dont see it on Oak very often Matt, good find, dont rule out Peniophora quercina in these situations, its very similar looking but yours appears to be forming brackets higher up so obviously Chondrostereum

Threesome?

[Matthew Arnold]

Threesome?

 

Stereum sp - Orange brackets+ Peniophora quercina - Grey-lilac crust + C. purpureum = Threesome.

 

Although i have never heard of Peniophora causing brackets before.
