Found this on an oak tree this morning and I can't find anything on the fungi app that matches. I'd like to know what it is before the tree officer comes out tommorow to survey the tree, we are just clearing round it so that it can be surveyed

Thanks will

Collybia i think.

[MATTMOSS]

would be my vote also Collybia fusipes

Looks a definate possibility. If it is it will have a very distinctive groove down the length of the stem, which will also taper to a point at the ground.

Good point!

A second or third, possibly fourth for Collybia fusipes - Spindle Shank

Hi Will

 

interested in how you came to not find this (Collybia fusipes) on the Arbtalk Fungi App?

 

Host at least should of helped narrow it down.

 

Always worth cross referencing with the directory here on the main site once you've got a few potential suspects from the app......

 

Collybia fusipes - Spindle shank - David Humphries’s Fungi Directory - Arbtalk.co.uk | Discussion Forum for Arborists

 

 

Any thoughts will help go toward honing any potential future updates with the app and/or directory

Hi David, I did look at all the fungus for oak first but as I scrolled down thru the fungi, the one I had picked and was looking at the gills of was a lot lighter in colour than the pic on the app, and I think I discounted it too quickly. I think the app is well laid out and easy to use. I think I need to work more thoroughly thru all the possiblities before asking on here!

 

Thanks for your help and thanks everyone else for your posts.

 

I'll read up on this fungus and impress the TO with my knowledge!
