Thanks Warren

That's what I thought, but wasn't sure because. Best get it down/reduced then.

 

it would be wise, it is clear by the bark changes high in the canopy this was topped about say 30 years ago

Lactarius spp.?

[sloth]

Maybe Paxillus involutus, brown roll rim?

Yes, looks like it's been pollarded a long time ago. There is a lot of Epicormic growth around the whole tree. It has a tpo so let's see what he says.

Thanks again

Lactarius spp.?

 

easy way to tell, look at the underside and see if the gills exude milky substance

 

"Lactate"

[Christopher Schroeter]

I'll have to go back. Couldn't really get a good look as I was under the watchful eye of my wife at a wedding!

This was a big one on a big ash tree. Ganaderma applanatum/australe?

[David Humphries]

G. applanatum I would think

Ah cheers Dave that's what I was leaning towards but they both seemed similar in my book

Fistulina on oak

 

 

 

Root plate failure of beech resulting in the Ganoderma riddled stem breaking into 3.

 

 

Bit of Meripilus on beech. I shall get more photos today. Last year the entire base was populated with it with G. applanatum around full circumference at 0.75m.

 

 

 

 

Inonotus dryadeus on field grown oak. First time I've knowingly seen this. Saw it on this one then few hours later on a couple of other oaks in another field.

 

 

 

 

Laetiporous on oak adjacent to the previous one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Again, a first for me, seen it once then seen it everywhere. G. resinaceum, firstly on oak in field, secondly on housing estate by my work then thirdly (my actual first spot) up on the roadside in Balloch, Scotland, while I was on holiday. I drove past it the day before then next day made my wife go shopping while I looked after the dog (when I say look after the dog, I mean walk it to the tree to take photos of fungi). Couple of council guys pulled up for photos too. Always taking my work on holiday!!!

 

 

 

Bit of Fomes, another first for me, this time at Arkingglas Woodland Garden.

 

 

 

 

A proper old coppiced oak vet in Bamaha(?) with Laetiporous in wound low down in one of the stems.

 

 

And finally some Armillaria bootlaces.

 

This year I've seen proper loads of stuff I've not seen before and just generally loads of different fungi everywhere. Must be a good year!
