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

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

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?

 

yep yellow spores trapped in webbing, well sort of olive yellow spores

Check out this beauty Laetiporus sulphureus on a cherry. It's been my dad's wedding today to my new wicked stepmother. Everyone's taking photos of the bride and groom and I'm taking photos of fungus!

Podoscypha multizonata

 

The tree (h chestnut) is just outside my house, where I park my car

 

Thanks for the location Coleman

 

I would agree that the association is for sure with the chestnut.

 

Good fortune for the fung that it has the bollards to part protect it

 

The Uk (supposedly) has nearly 50% of the entire European population of Podo

If you have the time or inclination, its worth considering reporting your find to the Mycology department at Kew.

Let me know if you'd like a link.

Whether London should have it listed as a priority biodiversity action plan species is possibly up for debate, particularly as Hampstead is such a strong hold for Podoscypha.

 

The host range & habitat type certainly appears to be wider than both the JNCC (above) & FRDBI list reports.

 

We 'stumbled' upon a new fruiting site for us just this morning, next to hornbeam.

nice one david, is there potential for a ten digit grid for it?

You can park literally right next to it, I'll send you a map.

Hi guys

 

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this.

Anyone know what this old bracket is?

 

Growing on 2 deadwood pegs about 20ft up a mature oak. Spongy and difficult to cut. White flesh inside.

 

Thanks

[Warren Stirling]

Judging by the host and the location on the tree I would say a desicated L. sulphurous. Chicken of the woods:thumbup1:
