Purple splurge a second time

[Arbocop]

Well here we go trying again LOL

 

Poplar stump with odd purple fungus any offers welcomed

[Peasgood]

I can see it now and it turns out that it isn't the first time I have seen the fungus afterall.

No idea what it is though.

Not a great image, but looks like a good candidate for Ascocoryne sarcoides. Fairly common on cut stumps of hardwoods...

Think its Chondrostereum purpureum - silver leaf fungi

 

 

The purple jelly disc - Ascocoryne sarcoides, is not really flat like the ones in Kevin's poplar picture.

They are more like jelly babies.

Well thanks chaps, I think David has it with Silver leaf.

 

Odd how I've spent years looking at the Leafs of cherries and spotting silver leaf but never looked at the fruiting body.

 

Cheers
