It’s Sapraphitic but what is it??

[John Hancock]

This is on a Whitebeam in one of our parks. To begin with I thought it was Coriolus versicolor or Stereum hirsutum. The underside is a milky brown and jelly-like to the touch. The more I look, the more its doing my head in! Grrrrrr……

[John Hancock]

Update.....Think its Bjerkandera adusta (polyporus adustus)

 

This test which confirmed it was to tear a little bit off the bracket, that revealed a black, jelly-like layer that separate the top and bottom layers.

 

The answer lay in the book it was sitting on...Ha!

That's so unfair.

 

Just cause it's your ball, don't mean the game has to stop, cause you've been called in for your tea.

 

What a tease

 

Good call btw

 

 

 

 

Is that a signed copy of "principals"

Commited to memory and then eaten, just as every secret code of the arb brotherhood should be

Update for this one needed! NOT in anyway shape or form Bjerkandera adusta, the simularity to coriolus is the tricky litttle blighty that done me over for ages!

 

this one is auricularia mesenterica, and you can bank this one! good find too, only know of it in one place ever.
