Found this lil cluster of gilled brackets growing on a dead Hazel stump. Not got a clue what they are and cant find anything in Rogers mushrooms.

Cheers.

I'm of the mind that this offering is the Benzoin bracket - Ischnoderma benzoinum

Not quite sure of the host though

Mr Humphries, the leaves have gone

Nice shots.

 

Do you pass this tree often?

 

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

This is the oak from post #2753, what's left of the brackets, and the nicely covered buttress area (and seat of root damage)...

[David Humphries]

Fine old tree.

 

Thanks for taking the time.

 

 

 

Any upcoming works?

The owners spoke about shortening a low branch over the road, other than that I believe it safe from prying saws...

 

 

 

....for now

Found this "slime" growing at the base of an Oak. The crown is healthy and the base has a fair bit of moss. The "slime" is growing on the south-west side and it the usual spot where dogs pee. Not sure if it bacterium or fungal related but it doesnt appear to be affecting the tree in any way.

Found this soft bracket growing on a cedar rustic picnic bench. It has been there for about 4 years and is holding up well. The legs are being replaced this year as they are just starting to rot at the base and the top weighs about 80kg.
