no....it was taken from the ground.....limb about 12ft up.

 

Sean,

I think Tony meant, please also show an image from the topside and I would like to know what tree species it is on, is pink the natural colour or is it from sunlight falling through and does the downside have pores or is the hymenium smooth ?

Yea i know hat he meant.........but there is no 'topside' as the limb is 12ft up and i was on the ground>

 

Host was oak......colourtation not perfect due to morning sun. More of a creamy white.

I would say trametes versicolour if i was pushed for an answer, its hymenium is not smooth.

[Fungus]

Judging by the whitish to cream colour of the hymenium, so would I : Trametes versicolor it is .

I once met a Dutch forest ranger and "manager", who said, that all mushrooms fruiting on the forest floor in the vicinity of trees were parasites and had to be removed to protect the roots of the trees and keep the trees from dying, after which he started kicking Amanita's, Boletes, Lactarius and Russula's about !!!

Nothing better than trashing a forest floor of delicate mushies, when a naive & uneducated youngster.

 

Would be pruidential to get Mycology set into the schools curriculums from an early start.

 

Zoology is overly subscribed to at this level at the expense of the broader spectrum of disciplines that should be getting an introduction.
