On Weeping Willow

Er... um... probably not.

 

But I did ask if I should have found it there: seems not as I can't find 'stereum' in it.

 

Thanks Al.

It looks like chicken of the wood. It causes stems and branches to fail

this is chicken of the woods, and the fungi posted bares no resemblance whatsoever, im sorry.

IMO this isnt an easy one to ident due to image quality but given the thickness of them, the spread and colour (Rugosum is browner) I would say its either Trametes versicolour for a first guess or stereum hirsutum because it appears to have an orange tone about it. was the pore surface smooth or obviously pored?

Not a clue Tony: the limb was 10' off the ground, the light was poor and it was one of those 'while you're here' moments. Overall impression was of a fungus that forms a thin coating rather than protruding distinct FBs; not much help there I'm sure.

 

I'm sure the limb will come off: the guy's pretty paranoid, the limb loss won't spoil the tree overall but if it did come down on its own it may well land on his rarely used G Reg Merc!

 

Thanks,

Picky, picky...

 

Are these of more help re ID Tony? The limb's to come off.

 

 

Apologies to the suggestion of Chicken of the Woods I so poo-poo'd; these things aren't lying as flat as I thought.

Did you cut the limb or did it fail?
