Is it ??????????????

[Will Hinchliffe]

Struggling to Id this fungi.

 

Found on Oak today. The fruiting body is v dry.

[Will Hinchliffe]

Its been driving me crazy for about 7 hours but I think I know what it is.

[David Humphries]

Phellinus igniarius? - False Tinder Fungus / Grey Fire Bracket

 

Can't find it hosting specifically on Oak, commonly on Willow, Rowan, Poplar & Apple but also "Other Broadleaves"

 

What do you think it is?

 

 

 

 

 

Btw, checked up on the current status of P. quercinus;

it's listed as annex 2006 - Endangered 1992

 

 

 

.

[Will Hinchliffe]

I will wait for five more guesses before revealing what I think it to be. I don't think its Phelinus.

 

There is an Oak with phelinus igniarius at our tip site. There were 2 but one was felled. The residual wall was less than an inch for aboout 25 feet!!!!!

 

When I couldn't ID it I started to really convince myself that it was P.quercinus but its not.

A desiccated Inonotus dryadeus?

 

Or a sun bleached Rigidoporus!

I think its a desicated Inonotus dryadeus

 

Well done:001_cool:

[David Humphries]

I think the tube layer is too deep for Rigi.

 

But I reckon you're both on to a winner with dryadeus.

 

Right host, fibrous flesh and tube layer looks at least 2cm from the photo.

All ties in nicely.

 

Great call the pair of you

 

 

 

 

White rot - Possibly leading to ductile fracture = Nasty

Have read that the decay is pretty hard to map for current DDE

 

What are the targets Will?

[Mesterh]

Is itPerenniporia fraxinea?

 

The only one I know:001_tongue:

[ben lightfoot]

was that meant to be a hint will, saying the bracket was very dry? dryadeus? good pic too by the way

[Will Hinchliffe]

It wasnt meant to be a hint or pun, nicely spotted though.
