Keizer's Fungi Q & A.

[Tom Joye]

Hi all,

 

been away for a week and almost 4.000 unread posts, come on guys, give me a break ...

 

But, I have made some interesting finds during the last week for this and other threads.

 

Here are the ones I can't really ID:

1) a funny form of Piptoporus betulinus?

2) under a Tilia

3 & 4) a Boletus under Fagus, coloured greenish when bruised, no specific smell

5 & 6) under a Quercus rubra

7 & 8) on a veteran Tilia

9 & 10) on a Robinia

11) are the black 'sheets' the pseudoslerotial layers formed by the Kretz (the black lines on a trunk section?)

12) which mycelium could this be (don't know tree species, was in a kids 'play forest')? Does not realy resemble the Laetiporus mycelium I know

13) no idea at all!

1. Yes, it is, and funny indeed.

2. Russula parazurea.

3/4. Xerocomus (= Boletus) chrysenteron s.l.

5/6. Paxillus involutus.

7/8. Polyporus species, either (a distorted) P. squamosus or P. varius.

9/10. Perenniporia fraxinea.

11. Could be, might also be melanine plaques of Armillaria.

12. Laetiporus sulphureus.

13. What tree species, beech ? If so, probably Inonotus cuticularis.

[Tom Joye]

Thanks for the swift reply Gerrit!

 

I don't remember what tree species the last one was on, but I will check.

 

cheers,

Tom

Hey I don't mind having a stab and being corrected later

 

1. I'm with you Piptoporus betulinus. It is hanging on it's stem to provide a larger surface area to sporolate?

2. Unsure?

3. Boletus sp

4&5. Unsure? (got no books here - will try Dave's directory in a mo)

6&7. Polyporous squamosus

8&9. Perenniporia fraxinea - looks like an Ash it's siting on?

10. Not so sure but it looks like a large concentration of Daldinia concentrica?

11. Not sure

12. Not sure

 

Ok ready for Fungus or Hama now!

Hey Gerrit - give me a chance :lol:

[Fungus]

give me a chance

 

You had your chance (after Tom already had thanked me for my swift reply) and said, you didn't mind having a stab and being corrected later, so ... ? Besides, I had no idea you were entering a "competition" .

By the way, In The Netherlands (and Belgium ?) Perenniporia fraxinea is not only found on ash, but also on Robinia (as in the photo), Quercus and Platanus.

[armybloke]

I'd be very foolish to enter a competition with you Thanks for the correct answers

11 is kretz it is covered in sporocarps! and has a stone like fracture surface and the black plating!

All true, as I already noticed myself, but the black plating could still be melanine plaques of an Armillaria, of which you can only be 100 % sure, if you have checked the backside of the black layer for hyphae with a microscope . And the wood covered with the black plating seems to be white rotted, as opposed to the central wood column, that has the typical pale brown colour of the soft rot produced by K. deusta.
