Help with fungi identification

[Harry Williams]

Could any one please help me with this fungi identification? I is on a willow tree about 3m from ground level in and around an old pruning wound.

 

thanks

COuld be early stages of Laetiporous sulphureus, I say that only because I posted something recently about a rubbery substance within a White Willow that someone reckoned was L.s. BY now all the L.s up here is bleached and crumbling, but maybe yours will develop over the next few days.

That wound should allow you to assess amount of decent wood left and whether there is any urgency or whether you can afford to wait and see.

Thanks Jules, There is plenty of sound wood left at the moment and the tree is due to be re pollarded so it should be ok for a few more years!

Not the clearest pics but don't rule out Phellinus ignarious (possibly:blush:)
