Sweet shots there!

Spotted this beaut yesterday on a mature roadside oak. Would appreciate any help on the id. Thanks.

Pseudoinonotus dryadeus (Inonotus dryadeus it was formerly known as). Causes a white rot - a rather slow one, too. Makes oaks buttress out in a pronounced fashion - known commonly as the Eiffel Tower fungus (plus other names).

 

As a heads up try not to bash an entire bracket off if it is large - take photos and get a little slice (like a cake).

[Arctostaphylos uva-ursi]

Any ideas what this is?

One point for the fungi at work and a bonus point for the tree species!

[Kveldssanger]

Looks like a Phellinus. A type of oak? If so, maybe Phellinus robustus.

[Arctostaphylos uva-ursi]

1/2 a point.

[Kveldssanger]

Coriolopsis gallica on ash. David, this was the fungus we thought was Daedaleopsis confragosa on that stump from last year, I do believe! Purchasing Fungi Europaei vol. X on Polyporaceae (£69 on Summerfield Books) has been a revolution for me!

Good follow up Chris

And the reason for not bashing the whole bracket off Chris?

Will the fungi then turn all it attention and energy into wood degradation as apposed to some on fruiting and sporolation?
