Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....

[Gray git]

Some interesting little fungs around a birch we had to lift over a footpath and some big brackets that completely encircled both these ash stems I looked at yesterday, cherrypicker removal of these me thinks!

[Sandworks]

Not tree related but in pasture.... Id please?

Would think he first ones are the mycorrhyzal Xerocomellus chrysenteron (aka Boletus chrysenteron, Xerocomus chrysenteron)

 

The large bracket on the ash probably Perenniporia fraxinea

Thanks David, had consider it could be mycorrhyzal but don't have a great book for them, amazing we had 5 people tell us it needed cutting down because it had fungus and was dangerous when actually it's benefits it.

On the other hand that ash is coming down as soon as we get the works order.

Ah ha! I am quite naive!!!!! Thanks David, never seen one before!

Something for the weekend perhaps😆

Daedalea quercina (oak maze gill) here on this oak bollard with a not too typical violaceous tinge to the top surface.

Nice example there.

Interesting find today whilst over at Burnham Beeches working on the pollards.

 

The Red Banded Polypore (Fomitopsis pinicola)

 

Pretty scarce in the UK, with only 45 records

 

British Fungi - record details

 

more gallery images (taken in Poland last year).....

also, the unusual occurrence of Rigidoporous ulmarius on Beech pollard in the bolling rather than at the base.

Interesting thing here is that the bolling will have the brown rot of Rigidoporus as opposed to the usual white rot more commonly associated with Ganoderma species in these areas.
