Was surveying a lime avenue yesterday. all the trees are mature and 20 plus meters in height. one the trees had this fungus growing around the base and on the trunk also there was a bracket which appeared to look the same about 10 meters up in a wound cavity. I believe it is pholiota squarrosa can anyone confirm this, it is similar to the pictures on arb information exchange but not totally convinced.

Pholiota mushrooms have an abundance of irregualr scales, almost tuft like in appearance, along the cap and stem giving them a shaggy appearance. I sent a picture to Roger phillips last week which i belived to be pholiota and he assured me they were, so could be worth a try.

 

They were the same colour as those shown above, yet had these irregualr scales. Liitle is known about the fungus, accept it is attributal to a root disorder...commonly on ash...
