Found these in a cavity (about 9ft up)

 

Are they young Rigidoporus??

Looks like it. got it on a big HC stump on our boundary with a recreation ground. We were planning on turning it into a habitat stick as was 80% dead, but the rot extended further and was worse than we thought so had to drop it. Will get some shots of the stump as had some brackets at the base.

White flesh and cinnamon tubes, right?

 

As opposed to P f that's cinnamon brown all the way through?

 

 

 

 

Please, god, let me be right about something fungally related for once !!!

On Horse Chestnut

 

Sean,

According to Ryvarden & Gilbertson, this would be a first European finding of R. ulmarius, which (normally) is a root (plate) and buttresses rotter (of Ulmus), in a cavity high up the trunk of an Aesculus, while one of its look-a-likes, especially as young brackets, Spongipellis spumeus (photo), predominantly lives in cavities of horse chestnuts, so to be 100 % sure, a microscopical check up and documentation of material in a herbarium is necessary.

Sean,

So you're 100 % sure it's the first find of R. ulmarius on Aesculus in Europe without microscopical check ?

Absolutely not.....that congrats was for janey for remembering how to tell the difference between perreni and rigi......

 

I am inrigued by what you say Fungus and I think I will geta sample and get it checked out.........I wasnt sure what it was hence the reason for posting the query.

Gerrit, can I clarify if you are refering to it being a first for R. ulmarius specifically on Horse Chestnut, or specifically on Horse Chestnut at height ?

 

 

thanks
