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

[David Humphries]

Pricing Street tree removal work today found several of these on a very sick Whitebeam

 

Look like Ganoderma sp

 

Interesting that they appear where there's a girdling root.

Nice Jules

 

Clay soil?

 

Saprobic on just general wood detritus in your garden or anything specific?

A few from my yard today haven't got a clue what they are but hopefully someone else will. .

I will investigate what they were growing on, I tool the picture with my 4 year old daughter in tow and as ever had no opportunity to linger and contemplate. I tooka a semi-mature holly out 2 years ago in the bed and put in lots and lots of coarse mulch from the local recycling place. 40cm topsoil on glacial clays. Will say more if I can refine my observations.
