Any chance of an ID please?

Hi all,

 

Found this on a plane yesterday, growing on decayed wood in a cavity. Any chance of an ID please?

 

Cheers

Not quite Polyporus squamosus, I reckon the Inonotus is right. Cheers Rob and Steve, not one I've seen in the flesh before

Steve your right! Confusion on my behalf! Dryads!

Inonotus dryadeus

 

 

Right Genus, wrong species in my opinion.

 

Not I. dryadeus but I. hispidus - the shaggy bracket.

 

The host here is the key.

dryadeus not known (as far as i can recall) on plane, but hispidus does.

 

The gutation (droplets) are the confusion here perhaps.

dryadeus is well known to present this, but hispidus not so.

 

These shots below show hispidus (on ash in this instance) with gutation.

Droplets to me are the key. Didn't know hispidus had them?

[Dan Curtis]

Neither did I, I'll have another look. Any key differences to check for David?

A lot do Paul.

 

Fistulina for one, even noted on certain Ganoderma species.
