I was hoping you would tell me:lol:

 

1. B. adusta

 

2. G. applanatum or possibly G. pfeifferi. (on oak I think it was)

 

3. Not sure, have seen it a couple of times recently, probably a slime mould.

Could it be Fuligo candida or Reticularia lycoperdon?

 

4. P. betulinus.

 

What do you say David?

Cheers Paul, I was fairly pleased with them but the focusing seems a bit wrong ever since my sisters dog slimmed on the lens, got to give it another clean.

David say,

 

1/ he hath not a clue

 

2/ he doth concur with applanatum/lipsiense hypothesis

 

3/ he doth thinketh it to be of similarity to the species hence worth known as Fuligo candida

 

4/ & David doth think that to be of the strangest of forms of the species one would predominantly associate with birch,

but happy to goeth with the posters presumptions

Hmmm, tres interesting. Have you been experiencing some security problems with your arbtalk account, it appears you may have been hacked by a time travelling fungi enthusiast.

 

 

1. Fair enough, pretty dessicated, could be something else.

 

2.

 

3.Looks like a new variety of liquorice allsort to me, tasty.

 

4. (Presumptuously) Definitely P. betulinus but what could have caused the strange form? The stand out bracket of many in the wood.

Would be great to go back regularly this week and watch it develop.

I concur with david, but one I feel maybe stereum hirsutum it is pubescent.

 

pores lacking may help that assumption.

 

as for the pip, it may be caused by disruptions via a fungal specific beetle or other small beastie, there are many that live for the pip
