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

[David Humphries]

Out walking the pooch yesterday morning and came across an interesting clump of fung high up in a beech.

 

couldn't get a decent close up due to lack of decent lens and too much foliage in the foreground.

 

Imagine that they are the velvet shank - Flammulina velutipes , open to other ideas?

Other ideas? - get the rope and harness out!

Pretty much retired these days & don't have any kit at home in Suffolk.

 

Guess it would be a cheek to ask one of the guys to give up their weekend in the name of their bosses fung lust

 

 

need to get myself a decent telephoto lens

A large Beech we were taking down this week for a client with this at its base. Tree was on top of a dry stone retaining wall and about 6 foot from the house, playing havoc with the roof slates and chimneys (old farm house about 100 years old). Tree had quite a lot of rot and dead branches.

 

Almost brown in colour now but client reports it was more yellow/yellowy brown earlier in autumn. Would this be Meripilus giganteus? If it is I assume the root plate is effectively rotting and therefore at risk of failure, is that right?

 

Any advice or confirmation would be great. Always keen to improve my very limited knowledge of fungi.

 

Thanks
