Matt,

What's this with you and the "impudent phallus" : you took them (as an aphrodisiac) ?

I've been watching them grow over the last few weeks. I've never seen such a big group of them before. Normally only see them in singles and pairs but not in a group of 12 or more.

Matt,

With such an impressive number of devil's eggs, there must have been lots of witches around at dawn, "creating" new offspring with the sperm of the devil .

Taken 8/6/11. On very mature Oaks. Most of them have had work done to them (deadwooding and heavy reduction)

Taken 10/6/11 First few pics taken on a deadwood Ash that we fracture pruned with a tractor a few years ago. I have seen Honey Fungus, Trametes versicolor, Polyporus squamosus, Bjerkandera adusta, Ganoderma applatanum growing on it now a new species to add Dead Mans Fingers.
