Which fruiting bodies on trees have guttation?

 

many, ive even got a shot of bjerkandera adusta guttating, some do it naturaly, like inonotus dryadeus, fistulina hepatica often does, inonotus cuticularis can be a heavy Guttation fungi, but Fomitopsis pinicola is the champion weeper

I'll need to be more careful then, anyway a few I saw last week, I wonder if it's a good year or just that I'm taking more notice now.

 

 

An old boundary oak, previous years a home to hornets amongs other things, note the grass growing from an old branch wound.

 

 

Inonotus dryadeus on an oak buttress between a golf club car park adjacent to a fast B road, note the old fruiting body beside.

 

 

This ash with what I take to be hispidus leans from a cottage garde on a windy B road where traffic often queues to go over a canal crossing. I take it the yellow on the spiders web is spores?

I spotted that fungi myself today on some ash , seems fairly common to ash ,

Interesting to hear about the weeping on fungi tony I've noticed that on others ,

The tree (h chestnut) is just outside my house, where I park my car. The estate I live on is a stones throw from the heath.

Any chance you could pm me your address, as Podo on HC would be a rarity

 

I don't believe it's ever been listed in association with anything other than, oak, beech, maple, ash & hornbeam in the UK (according to the FRDBI records).
