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

[David Humphries]

Enteridium lycoperdon - One of the Slime Moulds

 

& Laetiporus sulphureus on Dead Oak Monolith.

 

The fallen Oak limb in the background is a recent failure, most probably from a Laetiporus infection.

 

The Slime mould is saprophytic on a smaller fallen dead branch, at the base of this Tree.

Nice finds Aitch.

 

Haven't seen any Dryadeus on my turf.....yet

 

 

Is the foliage in the Merip shots put there for reference or is it coming from the butress?

[Hannah]

I think it was a seedling or else it was coming from the buttress. Didnt put it there anyway.

Spotted these today, don't have a clue what they are.

Likewise

 

 

 

Here's an Oak with Laetiporus and a Beech on the other side of the path with Meripilus.

 

Second shot shows same Meripilus.

No vascular dysfunction evident and canopy not showing any associated dieback.

 

Third is showing a Hornbeam with Ganoderma resinaceum during a trial with a cutting edge sonic decay detection prototype.
