Any chance of an ID please?

[David Humphries]

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

 

Hairy top to the bracket on hispidus when developed Dan

 

 

Spore colour is different too.

Hispidus is sulphur yellow like on the cobwebs in the shots above.

Dryadeus has white/light grey spore

Thanks David!

Thanks David!

 

Your welcome.

 

 

Interested to know if either the fungi directory here or the fungi I'd app we're used to aid identification, Dan ?

I got my dryads mixed up and should have stuck to Latin! I did re check with the fungi app after my error had been pointed out!!

[RobRainford]

The guttation droplets were the confusion for me and what pointed me to I. Dryadeus, as the only other fung I can recall with guttation is Fistulina.

 

With it being in plane I was also a bit confused but it looks remarkably like dryadeus to me.

 

I trust your judgement David

It does look like dryadeus, that's a given.

But 'looks like' is really just one part of an Id.

 

Dryadeus is not called 'oak bracket' for nothing.

If you have a look at the frdbi records, pretty much all the 750ish finds (couple of odd anomalies withstanding) are on Quercus.

Thanks David. I did use the app, but my phone has a few issues that mean it doesn't work entirely as it should. I also made the mistake of looking for a saprophyte, due to the positioning of the fb, which obviously yielded no results, nor did searching for plane as a host species.

 

I know I. hispidus well, from ash, but with the droplets, didn't recognise it, nor was I aware that it could be found on plane.

 

I would've tried the directory but was in a rush when I posted the pictures earlier

This fungi is 100% Inonotus dryadeus, how My old mate mr humphries could think otherwise is beyond me, come on david, look at it! dont tell me you cant see that white spore forming layer!

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Inonotus dryadeus

 

Proud of you I is!

[David Humphries]

Happy to be proven wrong.

I gave an opinion based on my experience of positive host Id association.

 

I've been back over the records this morning and amongst the 795 recordings it has beech, elm, hazel, Ash, alder & pine ! listed as hosts

 

along with this one record of it on plane.

 

Pseudoinonotus dryadeus (as Inonotus dryadeus), on/with Platanus × hispanica (as plane), trunk, 14/11/1997, England, Cornwall, Trelowarren, SW7223, coll.: B. Candy, FRDBI Record No.: 1607117, Origin of Record: Cornwall Records (full record )

 

 

 

 

Dan can you get a shot of it developed ?
