:lol:Any ideas on what it is from the solitary out of focus photo? I've got the app, but maybe I'm not using it right....

Or this 'un perhaps? Whatever it is:blushing:

 

This is what's fruiting on the remainder of the log in the woods

 

The fung would appear to look like velvet shank

I did ponder that but it didn't seem too comparable to the pictures on the app. I'll take a better look at it in daylight, cheers David.

Ahh, wise fung master, can you identify by mycelium alone?

Not sure what the fungus is (though David has answered that - thanks!) but it's fairly common. Use a borate solution such as Wykabor and it will eliminate most of the issues with mould. Best applied in solution with a paint roller in my opinion. All my timber is treated with it.

can this be a reaction to the blade that cut this or oil on the blade as we sometimes get this on the cut side of aring of firewood usually elm but sometimes sycamore as said only where the blade has touched very confusing
