Doh,

Sciadopytyis posted a picture of some rather nice brackets several metres up on a Beech stem, I only said G pfeifferi because of the laquered appearance, the host and location of the fruiting body, the underside colour has thrown me a bit though, any ideas Monkeyd.

This is a picture a friend took, so i know nothing about where it was, or what it was on.

 

I'm thinking it could be Polyporus squamosus (dryads saddle) ????

[Tom Joye]

yep, sure looks like dryads saddle to me!

Saw these on a nice oak today.

it looks like the bark has been peeled away, and the tree is bleeding sap, but i don't know and I'm sure monkeyd will help you out

It would appear you have a Bacterial Canker as Big Joe alludes to.

 

Pseudomonas mors prunorum

 

Have seen reference to using Copper as a treatment, but would advise against using during warm/wet spring & also in the Autumn.

So you should be ok from now.

 

Is the canopy wilting Ian?
