few from today....

 

Forming innonotus? On ash

 

Perreniporia at base of Ash

 

And this was in the middle of a field with no trees?.....must have been a stump somewhere?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

So, david, what do you make of this one? not in my books but ive seen it twice this week on two different sites?

 

both on ash, finely pored, rubbery/leathery feel, light brown to begin with turning dark brown with redwine tints.

I saw one today but it must be too obvious for you guys……. Inonotus hispidus? By the way it is the first one I have found in South Wales. Do you have any info on where hispidus is found in the UK?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

try the BMS databases, should give you a map spread.

 

or failing that try the biodiversity network/gateway

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

And this one is more closley related to the polypores than the Inonotus, a very odd litle fruit this one.
