Pretty much retired these days & don't have any kit at home in Suffolk.

 

Guess it would be a cheek to ask one of the guys to give up their weekend in the name of their bosses fung lust

you need a buddy who climbs?

Got lots of them but might start teaching the eldest to climb trees as he wouldn't need petrol and would be on tap

What's the tree?

 

Inonotus species would be my thoughts

Was on a beech. The bark was falling off leaving a large wound.

[David Humphries]

Inonotus cuticularis would fit host but the spore colour is throwing me a little here.

 

Should be more yellow than white

same as that, very much thrown by what at first glance appears as you say to be a white print although I still feel this is I. Cuticularis, I think that white stuff is either a bit of mycelial skin or as with the bit to the lower right in the buttress some kind of white or bleached lichen, is it somerset devon cornwall way at all?

R. ulmarius here on S. fragilis, if I'd seen the small brackets on a seemingly healthy tree a month ago, I don't think I'd have guessed it was doomed to failure. Can just make out the start of advanced brown rotted zones, the tree shows no (or very little) adaptive growth

One of the Geastrum earthstars

 

Possibly G. sessile
