This is not a mycelium, but one of the many saprotrophic Aphyllophorales without pores and tubes or spines living in/on/of bark without damaging the condition of the tree, of which it is impossible to give a name without using a microscope. A wild guess would be, that it is a Botrybasidium or Hyphoderma species.

[Guest Infinitree]

Ah yes, I realised mycellium was the wrong choice of words.

Hyphoderma looks quite promising, I believe it is the same species sometimes found on dead branches of c.sativa.

The reason I was interested was because I was curious to know if it was affialiated with any other fungi(when low on Oaks)...or just there at the time?

Thanks

To my knowledge, species of the genus mentioned are not associated with other fungi.
