Grantchester Meadows

[Peter]

Some pics I took today in grantchester.

 

A stately old ash. The fruiting bodies are on a fallen limb.

[Peter]

Another Daldinia?

[Peter]

a semi fallen willow across a footpath, with FBs. Pleurotus?

[Peter]

Old willow pollard, well decayed but still growing strong.

Nice shots Peter.

 

Looks like you and the Missus had yourselves a grand time.

 

Pleurotus looks like P.cornucopiae .

 

Can't leave the mention of such a great track without a wee blast

My 15-year old boy tells me these are known as carbon balls? Does that sound right? I would guess so as the ones he showed me were also on ash and he used them to great effect drawing boobs on a trunk ring!

Daldinia concentrica, the coal fungus, carbon balls, cramp balls, or King Alfred's cakes, to name but a few..
