Dual Decay

[RobArb]

Does this not strike you as I dryadeus?

[David Humphries]

Strikes me as a cross between fisti, resi, oak pip, Laeti and dryadeus, but don't think that particular chimera actually exists.

 

Evidence man, show us your evidence

I could arrange to go back and cut it, but what if it is the Oak pip and I get my hands smacked

[RobArb]

What about the "sinkage" in the stem at the base around the fb?

[David Humphries]

What about it?

 

I'm trying to watch a film, do you mind?

[RobArb]

I hope the film is worth it:001_tt2:

 

 

(Is the sinkage not indicative of I. d.?)

Phellinus punctaus ????

 

This tree also had Massaria

Don't think it is.

 

What makes you think so?

 

Was this on London plane?

 

I would lean toward Ganoderma resinaceum

Inonotus dryadeus and Fistulina hepatica fruiting together on Q. robur. Both fruiting around the crown break/bolling on a veteran pollard. The beefsteak was fruiting throughout most of the leader which failed. Brown and white rot together.....mmmmm

These are both Fistulina Dan.

 

The light coloured one is just a younger bracket prior to morphing into the usual form associated with the species.

The pores mostly show first during development followed by the red top of the cap.
