I can not be sure beacuse of the depth of decay but I guess Aesculus sp due to the abundance locally - do you know what it is?

 

By the way thanks for your help today - you did confirm a suspicion but I had to do a lot of reading first!

It was a pleasure Mate, always glad to help.

 

sounded like a pretty typical scenario:001_smile: you described it well.

Apart from a lot of Polyporus squamosus, the yellow species probably is Pleurotus cornucopiae or an(other) "escape" from a nursery such as P. citrinopileatus, both (also) cultivated for the human food chain.

Phellinus Igniarious on Horse Chestnut.

 

Sean,

I agree on Phellinus , but would choose P. robustus as a more likely candidate. The main difference in the perennial brackets of Ganoderma's, like G. lipsiense and the perennial brackets of Phellinus species, such as P. robustus, is that you can push in/down the crust of Ganoderma's, because of the soft tissue within, and you can drive nails into wood with P. robustus.
