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

Stumbled across this bad boy today on an Oak stump.

I believe it's pseudoinonotus dryadeus, it was about 20 inches wide.

 

[Kveldssanger]

Yup P. dryadeus. Nice find.

Suillellus (formerly Boletus) queletii, the deceiving bolete.

 

Mycorrhizal on the roots of this hornbeam

 

Flesh stains blue immediately upon exposing to the air.

Neat. Not seen much in the way of boletes around here yet. Unfortunately the grass cutters are out for three weeks now, so that might blitz some emerging fungi.

I came across these lovely things yesterday.

 

[David Humphries]

Oudemansiella mucida, the very elegant porcelain fungus.

 

Found some on oak yesterday, which is not too common.

 

 

One of the key autumnal fruiters

 

 

Nice shots Mark

Very pretty. Lovely scientific name, as well.

Is it normal for the big brackets to have a second fruiting in same year as this 1 I pass regularly has?

I have seen two 'generations' of dryad saddle this year on the same host, and a friend has seen three. Chicken of the woods had more than one season, as well, this year. I suppose it depends upon climatic factors, and the weather this year has been pretty decent for the wood-decay fungi (notably polypores).

I'd never seen it in the flesh before. Had been for a wander and it happened to be on the very last tree I passed on the way out the woods.

 

Cheers for the identification "Oudemansiella mucida".
