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

[David Humphries]

That makes sense david. I'm not sure I've really come across Psuedoinonotus previously. Thanks v muchly. Your photos are v similar.

 

You're welcome Owen, the interaction is a learning opportunity for us all.

 

Psuedoinonotus is the new name for Inonotus dryadeus

At least it's not much of a new name to learn. Would you know when it changed?

It's actually not that recent, it was described by the Germans Wagner & Fischer in 2001

 

Pseudoinonotus dryadeus (Pers.) T. Wagner & M. Fischer, Mycol. Res. 105(7): 781 (2001)

 

it's been slowly adopted since then, I only started getting my head around that fact a couple of years ago.

 

(its even in Matthecks most recent work as Inonotus dryadeus)

 

 

I think DNA sequencing found that it's not technically a true Inontus like hispidus or cuticularis.

Best Kretzschmaria deusta shot ever? on a lime next to a house and pub. probably the most I've ever seen in one place.

That's doing well not to be horizontal!

My thoughts exactly Sloth. We all poke around so carefully at buttresses looking for the tiniest sign of KD and then one stumbles accros this. I almost laughed out loud, then instantly realised how sad that seemed.

Out currently near Chichester, but found this on a site earlier on today in Surrey. My thinking is Armillaria.spp? thoughts please was on a False acacia and looks a little degraded didnt think was orang enough for Mellea.

[David Humphries]

It does looks like Armillaria, but would need clearer images to determine between mellea and other Armillaria sp

Spotted yesterday on a fallen tree (not sure of species, either Horse Chestnut or Sycamore). I'm not quite sure what the fungus is (and amn't going to make a fool of myself guessing here), but it has cracking guttation, varying from wet light brown, to sticky dark brown, to firm grey. Any guesses, and is guttation common for this species?
