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

[Simon Rotheram]

Got called out to inspect this on an Accasia, the tree is very tall and overhangs next doors property. The client doesnt want to lose it but also doesnt want a reduction as he thinks it will look "ugly"

 

What would you guys do?

Hi,

 

Great pictures (what camera do u use?)....I think the 2nd ones look like boletes but there are many different types. The first pictures are Dryads saddle (Polyporus squamosus).

 

By the way some boletes make good eating but I would make your you ID them 100 percent certain before firing up the stove!

 

cheers steve

Yeah thats sounds like a bolete that you can eat...one of the guys in work made a massive lasagne with boletes that turned his chopping board blue ....he was in work today....he said tha they tasted good!...i would not use the fact that fungi that turn blue when cut are safe to eat!! cheers steve

Quality shots OS.

 

Think the Boletus is possibly B. rubellus.

Though there are a few very similar.

Keep on posting.

On the right track me thinks Tim, although the stem and margin are a little different in the shot compared to resources I've compared it with.

 

 

Here's some finds whilst up in the Cairngormes last week.

 

Russula aquosa, Russula emetica & Russula badia

 

Fuglio septica on pine stump.

 

Have never seen Fomes on Birch before, always seen it hosted on Beech & Oak down here in the south.

I wonder where & how far up the species change starts from?
