Dryinus isnt that common, but if it was really yellow it has to be P. cornopea (spelling is well off!

Im happy with dryinus more than happy, forst sighting on an elm as far as i know of, does like ash from my findings.

 

ive only found it twice so gives SOME idea to me how "infrequent" it is. rare was the wrong word.

I couldn’t see what had caused the decay and I wasn’t getting any nearer because there are free ranging bears under the Lake Louise gondola in Canada’s Banf National Park.

 

 

I like the way the stems are a shadow of themselves in the process of returning to the earth

 

Parks Canada clearly has a “leave it where it lands” policy, they let nature take its course and do the absolute minimum needed to clear roads and paths. Anything cut just gets dumped at the side of the path and left as is, no “habitat piles” for these folks.

Out with the boys in one of the local parks in north london this morning & came across this interesting combo.

 

Forming Ganoderma resinaceum on Sorbus intermedia (Swedish Whitebeam) first for me.

 

 

Also came across more G. resinaceum driving home, on this old (oak)? stump.

Looks like an Oak stump to me david!

 

G. resinaceum on Sorbus! new one to me too, good spot, thanks for sharing.

Some shots of juvenile G. resinaceum (IMO) making hay on the roots and root crown of Delonix regia (Plam Beach, Gold Coast). There was some disagreement with the State Authorities (DPI) about the ID, some talk about Phellinus noxius.

 

We were asked to provide advice and suggest a contractor to undertake soil works...I have not been back to the property but understand after initial apparent improvements the tree continues to struggle with its unwelcome guest.

Certainly isnt resinaceum!
