G. resinacium or G. lucidium

[Amelanchier]

Look at our FdSc notes. You did it same time as me I reconise the name.

 

You have the advantage of me sir (madam?) I'm afraid I don't recognise yours!

" I'm not sure a stalk is a definite ID feature though... "

 

Yeah, I read that "unhelpful" little addition from Chris Skellern....thanx for nothing methinks.......! Seriously considering investing in some simple light microscopy eqpt' aswell as KOH and starch testing kit myself......Its seems relatively cheap although it will in all likelihood lead to the same same deadends....!!

I am guessing that both suspects are tested with the same outcome re lighter test?

Its good to see and reinforces the notion that they sure like to keep you guessing.....

G. lucidum absolutley 100%, and a magnificent specimen it is too, mighty jelous

G. lucidum here on Birch from Highgate Woods earlier today.

 

Checked the frdbi database, there appears to be only 1 recorded association within the 345 Uk records

(though there are a number of records lacking the host )

One must keep trying

 

Have been talking with the guy from the Suffolk MS & Martyn at Kew about checking those pollards near me later in the summer for Phellinus & Oak Poly. Both seem quite excited. Just need to talk with EN and the local volunteer group about setting up a small study group for a day or two.

 

 

Any joy from Stav ?

No, not yet, im going to try the back door approach!

 

I would very much like to be involved in that group David, keep me posted on days I have a parcel for Martyn and long overdue I put a face to a name and emails!
