Keizer's Fungi Q & A.

[Tom Joye]

Hi,

some more doubtfull or unidenified finds of the last days...

 

1&2 Perreniporia fraxinea on Robinia? (couldn't check the rot type or colour of the tube layer)

3 Is this the kind of bark pattern (on willow) a symptom of a possible Armillaria infection?

4 Leakage spots (on oak) as symptom of possible Armillaria infection? No other symptoms visible

5&6 Daedalopsis confragosa ?? on (poplar/willow?) stump

7&8 no idea, on oak

9 no idea, on fallen tree (don't remember wich species)

10&11 Leakage spots (on another oak) as symptom of possible Armillaria infection? No other symptoms visible

12 Oudemansiella mucida ? on semi-submerged beech branch

13 ?? on beech stump

14 what could be causing the killing of the moss/lichen on this beech tree? the pattern looks like a fungus could be 'guilty'

15&16 Pholliota on beech; looks like aurivella to me, but this low on the tree?

17&18 beech with first small FB of Meripilus on the right and a Kretzchmaria ridden cancer on the left. Is there a known link between Kretz and cancer formation (remember I read this once, but don't remember where)

19 is this the famous Laccaria amethystina (on previous beech)? If so, a first find for me, after I have been looking for it for months

20,21&22 veteran Tilia tomentosa (great tree!); what is causing this kind of bark pattern? Is this just a patch of old bark clinging on to this fast growing reaction growth stem?

25&26 soft rot (?) and demarcation lines on beech stump --> Kretzchmaria? I couldn't find any FB's on the stump

27-28 Fistulina hepatica on oak? If so, a first find for me :thumbup:Acting as a secondary agent here, given the white rot on the outside?

29-30 partially sterile Daedalea quercina?

31 Emerging Lycoperdon pyrifomre on beech root? the FB was only 1cm diameter

32-33 Is this Pholliota squarrosa acting as a secondary agent here? black melanine layers and leakage spots were visible, but no other symptoms of Armillaria

[Fungus]

Tom,

 

1&2 Perreniporia fraxinea on Robinia : yes

3 Is this the kind of bark pattern (on willow) a symptom of a possible Armillaria infection : yes

4 Leakage spots symptom of possible Armillaria infection : yes

5&6 Daedalopsis confragosa ?? on (poplar/willow?) stump : yes

7&8 on oak : Gymnopilus junonius

9 on fallen tree (species = Populus) : Pholiota populnea (= P. destruens)

10&11 Leakage spots (on another oak) as symptom of possible Armillaria infection : yes

12 Oudemansiella mucida : yes

13 on beech stump : Merulius tremellosus (Spekzwoerdzwam)

14 what could be causing the killing of the moss/lichen on this beech tree? : the competition between the lichen and the mosses, the pale circular patterns are the boundaries of the lichen (see photo)

15&16 Pholiota on beech; looks like aurivella to me : it's Pholiota squarrosa

17&18 beech with first small FB of Meripilus on the right and a cancer on the left. Is there a known link between Kretz and cancer formation : no, it's not caused by K. deusta, but by Nectria ditissima (see photo)

19 is this the famous Laccaria amethystina :

20,21&22 veteran Tilia tomentosa, what is causing this kind of bark pattern? Is this just a patch of old bark clinging on to this fast growing reaction growth stem : yes

25&26 soft rot (?) and demarcation lines on beech stump --> Kretzchmaria : could be

27-28 Fistulina hepatica on oak : Acting as a secondary agent here, given the white rot on the outside : could be in combination with Armillaria

29-30 partially sterile Daedalea quercina : yes on oak, but no on beech : Trametes gibbosa

31 Emerging Lycoperdon pyriforme on beech root : often associated with K. deusta

32-33 Is this Pholliota squarrosa acting as a secondary agent here ? black melanine layers and leakage spots were visible, but no other symptoms of Armillaria : no, as a primary biotrophic parasite avoiding interaction with the necrotrophic parasitic Armillaria

 

And could you in future only upload tranches of 10 photo's at one time ?

Yeah, there alright I suppose

 

 

 

I'm quite interested in what the little chap 5cms to the right of the 2 Laccaria is ?

David,

Could be one of the tiny Mycena's such as M. filopes, or a Marasmius such as M. bulliardii.

Do I sense some jealousy there?

 

And thanks for pointing that out, I didn't notice the little Mycena, I was sóóó happy that I finally found the Laccaria amethystina I heard so much about during the past months

Tom,

You didn't have to bother to visit the woods, you could have stayed inside and have a look at my Beech & Laccaria amethystina thread .
