Is that yew in east Anglia somewhere David? Looks a wonderful location...

 

couldn't help but trip over the laetiporus today Kev, this site was alive with fruiting bodies.

Looks incredible, going on the places to visit list! I don't think I need to wish you and the family a nice time, mother nature has sorted that out for you

Pseudohydnum gelatinosum. Likely Spruce stump. Do you think that is spore distribution or mycelium? I should have investigated, but was pushed for time.

[David Humphries]

Spore is white according to Roger Philips, (and the teeth kinda suggest that fact also) but I think it looks like mycileum rather than spore.

 

Many other stumps with it in the vicinity or just his one?

 

Nice shots btw

Thanks! My inclination is myc, I will pop back up the hill and check. No other stumps in the near vicinity that I noticed.

fine collection of Boletes found literally at my feet whilst taking this shot up high at Symonds Yat.

 

mixed broadleaf & coniferous woodland.

 

possibly B. calopus, but not sure as I have no reference books at hand

A rather active G. australe on Beech and L. sulphurous on Oak.
