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

To those in the know, Is this honey fungus?

[David Humphries]

It could be Jay, but even in this state of degradation we would need to see the gills and stem to be sure.

 

One possible way to try and determine would be to put a few in water and see if any spore floats to the surface.

 

Armillaria has a white spore which would rule certain other species out.

Cheers David. Just looking through the AA guide that you helped make:thumbup1: I will pop back down there and take some samples. We pollarded the tree a few months as it has been in decline for a while but the council wanted to try and preserve the tree. When I worked on the tree it only had ganoderma which was visible, but the other fungus weren't on the base. I only saw these on the tree when I passed it today as I was looking at other works in the area

Hello Billy

 

 

 

I've noted Heterobasidion annosum continuing to fruit on many occasions on dead stumps & trunk snags (which would suggest to me that it is indeed feeding and going through its life cycle from being parasitic on its host to being saprophytic.

Found this on an oak, one of many brackets of similar size, some kind of gamo?
