Blushing bracket - Daedalopsis confragosa.

 

Saprophyte (deadwood feeder) afaik but seen it on some weak looking trees

 

Very good :)

 

It does look like the Benzoin bracket though does it not?

 

Cheers!

There are vague similarities, but the host is the key here

 

The Blushing bracket is predominantly (nearly always) on broadleaf trees

whereas The Benzoin is predominantly (nearly always) on coniferous.

 

 

open these links up to compare.....................:001_smile:

Its a parasite too, Daedaleopsis confragosa I mean:thumbup1:

 

 

At least i got its name right, minus a letter or two! I must have learnt something after all :001_rolleyes::biggrin:

 

i was unsure of its parasitic status, as ive seen it on a cherry that had fallen but was still alive, and seen it on dead willow too, so i was more inclined for sapro!

we took down an old sorbus aucuparia the other day, it was in decline, it was brown rotted at the base, with clear breaches, i would say 12 months from a breach and fruiting, my boss asked me what it might be, no hesitations on this species (sorbus) from me, daedaleopsis confragosa, definitely not confined to a fully saprobic life style.

 

the texts may contradict me however:001_rolleyes:

Tony,

Daedaleopsis confragosa causes a simultaneous white rot, Inonotus hispidus a combination of white and (often brown coloured) soft rot.
