looks good for Hydnellum sp, what was it growing with and where abouts?

It has been a fantastic Canterell season.

 

My mate picked a wheelbarrow full in just a couple of hours.

It was growing next to the path on the ground in a Oak woodland in the Afon Prysor valley near Maentwrog, N Wales.

Its not Aurantiporus, its either going to be Ganoderma resinaceum or Perenniporia fraxinea. I think its likely to be the latter. Ideally a wedge of the flesh and tubes would be needed to confirm. Also look for spore deposit on the leaves or webs. Ganoderma will be cocoa brown, Perenniporia will be cream/white.

I give up.

I keep coming back to Podoscypha multizonata, but i don't think it is.

Looks like a variety of cantharellus/craterellus tubaeformis or similiar. I personally haven't come across a variety of smooth winter chanterelle yet, but in the US they have cantharellus lateritius which can have a very smooth area under the cap. They can mutate drastically and it wouldn't surprise me at all to see a smooth version of a winter chanterelle.
