ID help please I found this at the base of an English oak

[David Humphries]

Got a chance to re-visit yesterday so have got some better pics. Don't know how but I had it in my head that the FB was soft, in fact the upper side is hardened, the underside is softer though.

 

I reckon it's dryadeus, what say thee?

 

resinaceum say I

God damn! What have I been doing for the last 2 years??

 

What are the main tell tales that say resinesum? Had a look in couple of books but couldn't find anything definitive on flesh/tubes colours that would deferentiate the 2??

your example

 

Ganoderma resinaceum

 

Inonotus dryadeus

 

Similar but different

 

 

apart from the top crust, the flesh is really the key difference

White & spongy with resi and more fibrous with dryadeus

 

Tubes are fairly similar in length & colour
