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

[Fungus]

stump by someones garden. It must have a bout 20 individual brackets popping out of it.

 

This probably is the necrotrophic parasitic Ganoderma lipsiense, because it is still fruiting from a dead tree (beech ?) stump.

No way of identifying the stump Gerrit as all evidence has long gone. Thank you for the info as always

Striking colour, fine looking fungi don't know what it is though, I see gills so not elf cup?

John,

Not Sarcoscypha (= ascomycete), but Hygrocybe coccinea, a Waxcap with gills.

Greetings Gents, hoping to get your views on these chaps, snapped on my phone;

• a dessicated gilled fungus found at base of a lions tailed sycamore (help reqd to id),
  
• woodpecker holes in section of ash affected by inonotus hispidus (for your enjoyment),
  
• unidentified fb's at base of veteran beech suffering severe dieback - my limited knowledge looks at size and location and offers ganoderma and daldinia - but i don't think it's either of those (help reqd to id please)
  
• unidentified parasols in leaf litter flesh remained white after breaking (lepiota?)
  

 

Thanks in advance!

Hello Arob, it's been a while since you were on here, No ?

Hope things are well?

 

Don't really know the first one, but my instinct would suggest Russula nigricans - the Blackening Brittlegill which is an ectomycorrhizal fungi which wouldn't be associated with the Sycamore which has Endomycorrhizal associations, but tbh, it's too desicated for me to be sure.

What other trees were in the immeadiate vicinity ?

 

I think that the fb's on the Beech are the panic fruiting of Ganoderm australe.

 

Would be interesting to hear Gerrits (fungus) views.

 

regards

 

 

David

first not sure, second hispidus (on walnut?)

 

gano australe

and lepiota aspera

One of the red brittlegills - Russula sp

Birch Bolete - Leccinum scabrum

Also unknown Bolete from Oak woodland

Hi David, thanks for the prompt reply.

Yes it's been a while, have been doing more landscaping than tree work of late and have not had time to keep up to date, pleased to see the way you've progressed things here - it makes a very useful resource - am remembering how much there is to learn!

 

Don't really know the first one, but my instinct would suggest Russula nigricans - the Blackening Brittlegill which is an ectomycorrhizal fungi which wouldn't be associated with the Sycamore which has Endomycorrhizal associations, but tbh, it's too desicated for me to be sure.

What other trees were in the immeadiate vicinity ?

 

Ash, Beech and a little further away, Scots Pine.

 

I think that the fb's on the Beech are the panic fruiting of Ganoderm australe.

 

Thanks i'll follow that up - panic fruiting would certainly correlate with rate of dieback.

 

Would be interesting to hear Gerrits (fungus) views.

 

Agreed. He seems to be a good source of information and a good foil for you on the fungal quest.
