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

Never been too confident on the differences between the two species and I don't have any resources at hand, so I'm out !

Few pics that i took last weekend during a woodland stroll in North Norfolk.

Last pic is not fungi but is one of the biggest inclusions that i've every seen.

Cool, funnily enough I was driving past there today on the way back from Essex.

 

Unfortunately didn't have the time to stop off.........was it fruitful?

Yeah so much stuff! Possible Aurantiporus on ash, too. Many samples to send to Kew, incl. dryad (Cerioporus sp.) on a massive hawthorn. Just got back and got dinner on so hopefully have some up by later tonight.

Here's the Fomitopsis pinicola on the dead birch. Hopefully the link works as the site just crashed on me after uploading them! If it doesn't work let me know and I'll re-upload. Large files so you can zoom in on the tube layer, pores (hymenium), etc.

 

 

Seems all the images lost their order...!

Seems to be working now! If not let me know and I shall sort it tomorrow morning.

Yep working now, very nice find.

 

Seems to be being noted more regularly over the last couple of years.

Would be interesting to know if it's host range is widening like that of Fomes fomentarius.
