Quoting some work today, this bracket was on a knacked Sycamore.

 

Could I please ask for an ID from you knowledgeable gents

 

Cheers Dave

Maybe ganaderma but in that condition it hard to say which.

Knackered as in dead, or dying with localised dysfunction?

What height was it at Dave?

Bracket was between the buttresses, tree was alive and looked well, obviously no leaf so cannot comment on leaf size or form, but there was extensive decay around the buttresses.

mossy mushroomy thingy,

 

OK so my ID was correct!!!!!

 

Clearly I know more than I thought!!

[David Humphries]

Hosted on Sycamore, made me drawn towards Fomes fomentarius (Hoof/Tinder Fungus)

 

But you say between decayed butresses, so this would pull me toward Ganoderma applanatum.

 

Did you try pressing through the crust on the top surface?

 

 

 

If Mrs Skyhuck hasn't thrown you and the bracket out with t'garbage yet, can you cut a wedge out of the front edge so I can have a butch at the tubes.
