finally, some jews ear marching up a stump

[chris cnc]

and finally, a group of Phellinus igniarious (i think) brackets on a knackered old willow stump

[David Humphries]

Not really sure on the earlier ones Chris, but I would say the last ones are Ganoderma applanatum.

 

Tell tale cracking over the top surface.

 

Here's is P. ignarius on Willow.

cheers that's what i thought at first, but the colorful zoning is on the underside, so it is kind of upside down, which threw me off. (the stump they are growing on is unmovable so they can't have been flipped over. )

if it helps at all, the second group of brackets on the dead pine had a brown, porous underside, and are very thin and brittle.

 

after careful consulting of jordans encyclopedia, i have to agree that it is probably Ganoderma applanatum cheers

 

im starting to enjoy this fungi lark

I know what fungi are on the pine, but cant think of its name, so bit later will dig it out, It isnt the conifer bluing bracket I know, but despite the brackets age was their any blueish tone to these?

i can't see any blueing. here's some detailed pics of the upper surface and pores, as you can see there is what looks like algae growth on top and the pores have slight bands of colour.

pored surface shot helps and their is a def aged blue tone, two secs and dig the name out and will find you an image of it fresh.
