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

[David Humphries]

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) ????

 

 

Here's a Beech & a Sycamore in Suffolk & Sherringham Park, with Dryads saddle, fruiting out of natural & man made, non occluded wounds.

 

Although Ps is a relatively localised decay fungi, I would personally proscribe reduction on the Beech.

We have a avenue of Limes with a lot of old pruning wounds and a lot of Dryads. One failed a few years ago and I’ve never seen decay like it! The whole tree was just mush (you could put your boot straight in to the main stem) Don’t overlook this fungi on Lime chaps!

We had a horse chestnut in the churchyard and it was near enough pollarded and all the cut surfaces fruited with polyporus i bet that truck will be nice and soft.

No , never eaten it,I would like to keep an eye on the tree's progress/decline,as it is to be left to it's own devices,(and those of the sulfur tuft),but it is too far away from my normal work radius.

Be a shame for the owner if the Beech was felled, they would have to change the house name to Beechless House!
