Cubical decay...

On Rowan...

[Fungus]

I cant find any noted findings in Sweden unless there is a namechange because I find reference to Gloeophyllum protractum...but it grows on coniferous trees (?).

 

Ryvarden & Gilbertson report it from Sweden and Finland, where it should mainly grow on structural timber in houses, while it normally grows on all kinds of deciduous trees, including Prunus. But to be sure, you need a microscope to identify the species (f.i. Phellinus spp., Dichomitus campestris) or caustic potash (KOH) to test for a purple reaction in case it would be Hapalopilus nidulans.

To be 100 % sure, you'll have to do the caustic potash (KOH) test (see photo with purple reaction), but I'm pretty sure this is Hapalopilus rutilans, which often grows on Sorbus.

Climacodon septentrionalis slightly desiccated...

[Fungus]

I think it is applanatum... Do you agree? Otherwise it would be my first and a very rare occurence in my area.

 

Ganoderma lipsiense and G. australe can only be 100 % sure identified by using a microscope and measuring the spore size. And according to Ryvarden & Gilbertson it would indeed be a first recording of G. australe from your region.

Is that the one you get a reaction with ammonia aswell?

So I need to ask a friend to scope it for me then...

No, KOH.
