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

[Fungus]

On dead oak in army owned woodland

 

Two Psathyrella species, the bigger one at the base might be P. spadicea.

[David Humphries]

Fistulina, fruiting from within the powdery residue of brown rot behind an old prunning wound.

Probably reduced to release the shading & leaf litter in to the adjacent iron-pan pond.

David,

Nice illustration of the fruiting mycelium taking the path of least resistance in bringing the FB out through the dead wood of the pruning wound below the bark necrosis and not waiting for the canker to "explode" and open up.

A little dissapointed & suprised to not see a partnering fruitbody hosting on the other wound.

Long before the tree was pruined, the infection with spores originally took place in a wound at the side of the tree with the bark necrosis and the mycelium didn't get far enough to the other side to reach the opposite pruining wound, because it beforehand retraced its steps via the radial rays to invade the cambium and cause the bark necrosis to develop at the side of the present fruiting.

Think I get the gist..................just

I often note Fistulina multi-fruiting at the same spot (which I presume to be panic fruiting) but also multiple fruiting from various & sometimes unconected parts of trees.

One of the Russula sp.

 

Possibly (based on habitat & colour) R. rhodopus or R. torulosa

If R. torulosa = very rare in Uk (R Phillips)
