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

I think is a black foot polypore on Lime = P. leptocephalus (although the stipe base is too far within the tree to be able to pick up on the black foot at the base of the stem)

 

David,

Polyporus leptocephalus being P. varius ?

Yep

 

 

The other two similar species that you mention in the encyclopedia (P. arcularius & P. melanopus)

 

Have you encountered these ?

Wow, a saddle, which even can hold Hamadryad ?

Ah ha! Good afternoon Gerrit, I have a couple more pictures you may like as I know this fungi has illuded you in the past (reading previous threads) so you may enjoy these. I pass this tree on my drive to work each day so I will endeavour to take photos weekly as long as children do not kick them off whilst bored waiting to go in to school!
