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

The fungi scratched relatively easy and the outer part was movable. The rest was rock hard. Looking at the stump, I think it may have been overkill to fell it.

A nice one from a few months back now. Polyporus squamosus on Ash with extent of colonisation

Hey mate, not overly up on my fungi but i removed a big old sycamore with the exact same decay inside today. There was no fruiting body i could see but is this typical of polyporus squamosus? Thanks

Flammulina saved from the woodburner..........unless I can't be arsed to brave the cold trip to the wood store, then it's funghi flambé tonight

Flambulina?

Saw this today, mixed native woodland and this was offset from the base of a semi mature Ash. The resistance to frost disintegration is impressive, it was so cold I nearly fell apart.

Nice set of Sarcoscypha coccinea Julian, unless ofcourse microscopy shows them to be one of the other Sarcoscypha species?

Thanks, I'll settle for the Genus. Microscopy wasn't on my mind when seeing off hypothermia was.

Mensularia nodulosa (confirmed - syn. Inonotus nodulosus) on beech, New Forest. Delighted with this one! Also plenty of other fungi on this tree (you can see Hohenbuehelia atrocoerulea in the background and Chondrostereum purpureum, too).

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Arctostaphylos uva-ursi]

Great pictures Kveldssanger. Mensularia nodulosa is a new one on me. Saprotroph?

[Kveldssanger]

A weak pathogen, perhaps - this beech was still alive (just). From the ex-Inonotus bunch (and remaining ones in that genus), Xanthoporia radiata is likely to be the least pathogenic upon trees, instead leaning towards the saprotrophic end of the continuum.
