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

[JimM]

Pleurotus I think, plus some hangers on. This is a nice tall beech, but next to an estate road. No other fungi around the base at all. Hoping it might last a good while yet. ?

Phaaeeeeeollllllllllllllllussssssssss:lol:

 

argh I still got it

I would say your hunch is on the money though it is VERY fresh and still maturing, lets have another gander in a fortnight or so

 

I'll try and have another look when I'm next near London.

 

In the meanwhile here is another on a red oak and I think an associated earth ball but the gardeners knocked it off before it developed. This tree is likely to date from when the house was built in 1860, has been shedding deadwood from the tips of the crown for the 5 years I have known it and I think is dying, a neighbouring Horse-chestnut succumbed to honey fungus 3 years ago. The buttresses are sound and well developed so the fruiting bodies may just indicate the redundant central root is being consumed.

 

 

and the now missing one

 

I'm thinking the old fruiting bodies are a ganoderma and the white new growth below them plus the white growth in a gap between the same butters below grown may also be a ganoderma?

 

 

Just as bad as the gardeners as I was walking around the stem I kicked over what turned out to be a colourful mushroom near the root.

A boletus I assume

Some kind of fungal association.

 

The tree is a willow on a patch of scrubland proposed for development into a new industrial citadel. Good job too as this nature stuff is far to clean and harmless!

Nice shots.

 

Do you pass this tree often?

 

Could you get a shot of it when the leaves are gone?

Still in leaf obviously but here she is one month on. The leati brackets have all merged to form a solid lump, and the resi is gone, possibly cut off. Strange as a couple of small epicormic branches have gone from just above head height over the path as well, why cut off one fungi but not the other? The mind ponders....
