Nice Jules, metal work part of a deliberate access route up into the tree?

Access to a zip slide. Metalwork has almost sertainly resulted in this trail of O.m.

Found this on an apple tree today. Almost sure it is lichen but I may be wrong.

It was quite dry and flakey like lichen but 3-4mm thick.

Is there a fungus it may be?

Thanks

Will

Ok, thanks for the reply David, I'm pretty sure it's lichen so I'll go with that

Rhodotus palmatus (wrinkled peach) on Ulmus minor. The wrinkled peach.

Good one, always a nice find.

 

It's interesting seeing the widening host range now that Elm is dissapearing.

 

Have you seen it on anything else Chris?

Nope, only on this dead elm! There was a much more mature cap just further along on another elm stem. This is the first year I have actively gone out to look for fungi, so I expect I will see it more often over the coming years.

 

If you're ever near to my area again, check out Westley Heights and the woodlands that head down the steep hill towards Horndon-on-the-Hill. A total treasure trove of fungi! Such a myriad of different 'plots' - some pine plantation, chestnut coppice, beech and oak maidens, some old pollards, some mostrous wild cherries, the biggest ash in the area, and more.
