Another Fungi ID Please.

[Glen Poole]

Evening, could anybody help me with identifying these three that i found today on an oak tree? many thanks, Glen. Oh & sorry once again for the poor quality photos:blushing:

Hi Glen,

 

I think the smaller ones in pic 1 are Collybia fusipes, not sure what the larger one is.

 

Second shot appears to look like one of the Ganoderma sp.

 

No Idea on the last.

Many thanks David, i too thought the same as you on the first two but weren't to sure & the last one had me stumped as well.

1. not sure what the larger one is.

2. Second shot appears to look like one of the Ganoderma sp.

3. No Idea on the last.

Glen,

1. Probably a bolete, with red pores ? If so, Boletus erythropus or B. luridus.

2. , probably G. australe.

3. Maybe a very young "bud" or primordium of the Ganoderma species.

Many thanks Gerrit, could you tell me more about the bolete please? I haven't taken the time to study these yet. Would it cause more problems for the tree? thanks again.

Not a bolete gerrit, defo Fusipes, also shows the distinctive bark problems at the root soil interface. Sometimes the colybia is parasiticed and the base swells, if the stipes split longtitudinaly later then its been had by a parasitic organism as yet unkown.

 

I reckon the rest are all G. australes

Tony,

Never seen this and the only parasites on FB's of C. fusipes I know are Nyctalis (= Asterophora) lycoperdoides and N. parasitica.

And do you know this research on the effects of C. fusipes on Quercus robur and Q. rubra ?

Gerrit i havent seen that research and will have a gander shortly, as for the parasite i will see if I can find the images again but i lost many images recently.

 

I found micro beetles present in the fusipes, but uncertain if these are the cause of the basal swellings. i will send one off to a specialist next time i find it, as i had taken it for granted it was a known thing:blushing:

This link doesn't seem to download for me on my phone or pc. Is anyone else having this problem, may just be me? Thanks

[Glen Poole]

It's working fine for me
