Hamadryads fungi pages

Found this rather cool fungi on a recent Highland foray, a new species for me and was worth a very very good soaking!

 

Phellinus pini

 

I got 3 records in some lovely Grannie Pines:001_cool:

Hmmm, while you were getting wet mate I was looking for shade at Thruxton Race Circuit today!

Panus torolosus- on Birch stump another new species for me confirmed by Liz Holden and Ted Green no less:thumbup1:

Leccinum scabrum- The Birch Bolete, a mycorrhizal fungi, and a rather nice example of it at that. Not my first by any chalk but definitely my best one:wink: (and it will only be the best of the best that make this thread!)

Almost forgot this one too:biggrin:

 

Inonotus obliquos AKA the clinker polypore or medicinally known as Chaga, very very much at home here in the Highlands of Scotland. I think climate is damper but otherwise ecology very similar to mid to north sweden so not a surprise realy. Last image fruiting alongside fomes:001_cool:

Some cracking shots there Tony; I found my first Phellinus pini bracket on a Pinus sp (forget which now) along the south coast earlier this year, in very similar weather conditions too......

Hi, did you record it with anyone? I looked and there is only 2 records as far as I can see, and I had three records while in the Cairngorms!

Not gotten round to it at the moment; with whom should I report it too?
