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

Laetiporous (i think) on this small street Crataegus today, in the wet

 

quick question (prob should be in the other thread:blush:) how, from the body language of trees, and in this case, this Crataegus, can you tell it has been colonised by Laetiporous?

 

If the FB's weren't there how would you know?

 

genus would help, as gerrit will reiterate im sure, tree species tend to be predominantly colonised by certain principle fungi, prunus pissardii street trees would also be highly likely, but the brown rot would also assist in narrowing it down, one thing laeti has mycelial "felts" within the wood rays, that other brown rots do not.

[Fungus]

1. Laetiporus

2. how, from the body language of trees, and in this case, this Crataegus, can you tell it has been colonised by Laetiporous? If the FB's weren't there how would you know?

 

Rob,

1. Definitely L. sulphureus causing brown rot of the central wood column.

2. By the horizontal position of the tree in the last picture ?

[RobArb]

99% sure its C. monogyna

brilliant

[Fungus]

genus would help

 

Rob mentioned the tree genus (and species) being Crataegus (monogyna).

I know! i was answering the question about how one might evaluate which fung without fruit bodies, and said genus (tree) would help distinguish likely candidates:001_tt2:

 

i didnt need a name, can spot that genus a mile off:thumbup:

[Fungus]
