Ganoderma species

 

I would plumb for G. applanatum (lipsiense) due to the thin rim, surface, flesh and tube layers, pore surface, and the location of fruiting from out of a wound.

Found this while out today at a clients place. Wondered what the brown slime is? Seems to exist above bark and a couple of stabs suggest wood is sound.

More findings from today

Both unknown to me. First on LP, and second on HO.

 

Gonna have a look when I get back to the Office.

[David Humphries]

Imagine they are both Ganoderma species

 

The first more than likely to be G. resinaceum and the second possibly being either G. lipsiense (applanatum) or G. australe (adspersum)

Collected this from site yesterday to come back to the Office STINKING of marzipan. I have absolutely no idea what it is and I think I may have poisoned half the staff with cyanide. :-D

 

Came off an ash tree covered in panic fruiting/poverty knobs. The Ash had failed at root plate and there was extensive white rot with both brittle wood on some roots with other soft completely through Sadly no pictures of the stump.

Can you take a wedge/slice through it to show the flesh and spore tubes?

Has an air of Fomitopsis pinicola to it, surely not?! Does the smell of marzipan give you any clues David?
