All found recently David? The laeti looks half decent considering time of year. Are you aware of Boddy's discovery that the laeti on yews is not actually sulphureus?

Taken today Kevin and yes I believe I have read that there are potentially different Laetiporus species and sub species

Spotted over rehe weekend on Liriodendron tuluipifera. Closest match I can think of is Flammulina velutipes, as yet without the darkened stems. Anyone know of an association?

I haven't come across F. velutipes on Liriodendron before Jules, and there appears to be no UK records for it.

 

British Fungi - record details

 

I suspect there would be a pretty common association of the two over in the States.

 

 

May also be worth considering the other Flammulina species with this one as well, as they are pretty similar.

 

Flammulina populicola - rare in the UK

 

Flammulina elastica - also fairly rare in the UK

Thankyou. elastica sounds promising, not sure why but it ties in in my mind with broad morphological similarities between the woods of Liriodendron, Populus and Salix. I will ask the owner of the tree what he knows of its origin, but I suspect he knows not much as he bought the house with this savagely pruned tree in situ last summer.

But with out the savage pruning it would not be there [emoji1]

Ere we go, first one coprinus growing out from the bottom of one of my log stacks. But i can not decide which one.

The second is Peziza vesiculosa growing on sycamore wood chip.

And the third possibly a Copinus (micaceus) growing out of the same wood chip pile.
