Rigidoporus ulmarius

[David Humphries]

Came across this interesting combo yesterday.

 

Rigidoporus colonisation at the base of this Oak - thought to be Quercus x hispanica 'Lucombeana' - Lucombe Oak.

 

Will carry out further investigation to determine the extent of decay and then re-look at this area in terms of target.

= fishing on the bank of the pond just in front of the tree & a desire-line created footpath, through the grass following the drip line to the north & a bench.

 

Possible candidate for a small reduction as it's a fine & relatively seldome found specimen

Had it been fully ID'd as Lucombe Oak, is someone sure?

 

You know me and my ID's, I like to be accurate:001_rolleyes:

It's either 'Lucombe' or 'Fulham' Rob, I think it's Lucombe.

 

But they are both hybrids of Q.cerris/Q. suber

 

Quercus x hispanica..........'blah de blah'

Found this on a Sycamore today. Does it belong in this thread? The sample is just a little too small for me to chop a wedge out and look at the sample. I need it to develop some more first. I would welcome a calculated prognosis if possible. Thank you

By the look of the (whitish) spore, it appears to be Rigidoporus ulmarius.

 

So belongs here happily

or perenniporia! lets wait for the slice and dice! i bet perenniporia

 

as for prognosis given that it is a panci fruiting variety, and here it is but one bracket its early days, but cant possibly comment from my armchair old bean (private joke)

Ok boys when I return to site I will take said slice, photograph it and let you two fight it out - could be interesting
