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

Not sure, tbh.

 

it's a possible, but I think this is more like a hard bracket.

 

May even be perreni

 

 

Need to get a closer look, it's up at about 4 meters.

In my limited experience (3 encounters) the nodulosus is at times a VERY tough bracket, i think this is largely down to the exudates, which on drying become hard like granite, in times of high water content the brackets ooze a sticky almost treacle like sweet smelling liquid.

 

and confined to beech, and old ones at that, considered rare, think it may even be red data

I'll crack it open next time I'm passing to get a view of flesh/tubes.

 

may even send down a sample to jodrell.

sounds like a plan, will be very interested in the outcome.

Doh !!!

 

just realised that this is one of the trees that Tobias & I looked at on his whistle stop last year.

 

Don't think we even looked at the wound above, as we were too busy looking at the dryinus below

MO is right, but we've played the defo game and been singed before.

 

Will get a slice off to confirm

 

 

 

 

 

You got any decent nod shots?

 

Of the Inonotus variety, not the Treeworker type
