Wow! I think it may be an immature specimen of something. The log is now several smaller logs in the log shed, and the fungi is feeeling rather disem(fruiting)bodied, so we will probably never know now.

Hi David

 

Looks like some ageing Oyster fungus fruit bodies (Pleurotus ostreatus)

 

Shame they weren't a bit fresher - would have a juicy treat!

 

Cheers Geoff

Weird! I posted this reply on another thread and its jumped up here....

 

My answer referred to David old willow logs...!

[David Humphries]

Grifola frondosa - Hen of the woods.

 

Here fruiting from Oak roots spotted earlier today.

 

Interesting how there is no grass growing where the fruitbody is located.
