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

[armybloke]

Hard to say from a photo alone. What was the white stuff like, frotty fluid, tough and hard to press in, or sticky like resin ? And the reddish brown material : bark fibers or remnants of fungal origin (ozonium) ?

 

It had a resitance to being prodded and quite fleshy. The reddish brown are bark fibres Gerrit. Thanks for the updates on the finds. Appreciated

Then it probably is a FB of a young and still developing annual or perennial bracket fungus, so follow it and let us know (photo) what it looks like in a few weeks.

Xerocomus (= Boletus) badius, of which is known, that it is, just as other facultative saprotrophic ectomycorrhizal symbionts, such as Paxillus involutus, Scleroderma citrinum and Thelephora terrestris, temporarely capable of fruiting form deadwood, although for boletes, other than Buchwaldoboletus (= Pulveroboletus) species, there is still the question of whether they also need to be in contact with living roots (of seedlings) of trees and only decompose dead wood to protect the tree from being depleted of so much energy for producing the FB's, that the young tree would die.

[David Humphries]

I was of the mind that badius fit the id, but was not sure.

 

Thanks for that & the info Gerrit
