Cheers for the link Sean. Some good photos on there so will be of some help. Might see if I can talk the boss into buying the book.

pure guess, some form of tropical pholiota, related to aurivella?

That does not suprise me, definatley more pronounced velum scaling than ours and slightly different hue in the yellow.

looks like P. aurivella:thumbup:

Came across this yesterday first time I, have seen Laetiporus sulphureus this low on a standing tree. I had a chance to pick up a small piece of flesh already on the floor and now know why it was given the name sulphureus it was smelly!

It's not particularly rare to find Chicken low down, often around cavaties etc....

 

Did yours look browsed close up, or just vandalised ?

I mostly survey development in and around London it is very unusual to find anything of interest at these site.

 

This was found on a Sunday walk at a local NT property to the left of the picture is a pond/lake. Given it was Sunday at a popular site some members of the public had a bit of a poke before I had seen the bracket. I spotted the Warden who was doing a Sunday tour of the woods I, followed him around for a bit (stalker ) he pointed the fungus out to the group. I get the impression that he is not that worried about the tree and it will be allowed to fail in its own time. The oak still has all of its crown intact and has not been worked on in years, last time this was done was to reduce it over the pond/lake.

As the horizontal crack in the bark above the annual fruitings and the size of the young brackets (panic reproduction) is an alarming sign of the mycelium having completely brown rotted the heart wood, causing the tree to slowly collaps while pushing the new formed sap wood rings outward causing the horizontal crack under his total weight, which is no longer supported by an intact central column at the lower part of the trunk, I would not like to be the owner of this oak.
