Inonotus dryadeus

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Thats a good shot for "the body language of decay" because it is so low in the deformations, ive seen G. resinaceum make this same low swell so it isnt all certain yet!

 

similar strategy though, thats kinda the point i guess.

[David Humphries]

I've usually noted resinaceum as being associated with pronounced fluting, with consistant basal flare increase.

interesting thread! these pics again!

Came across this (what I believe to be) dryadeus, at Alice Holt a couple of days ago.

 

Needed some help with the Id, as it didn't come across like a typical form, though host and flesh/tubes lead to it as I. d

 

 

Poor quality shots I'm afraid.

Interesting David...Not atypical. Did the exudation at the stem not reinforce your suspicions?

Quality aerial view!

that dryadeus has been getting very wet, hence the none typical look of it, i could be wrong!

 

Interesting resis, not quiet the same formations in the buts, but that oak we saw at jonsies show was VERY low in the swelling, almost confined to the last 1ft of trunk/rootcrown.

 

I guess what we should be saying is mostly typical with odd variations.

That's partly what through me Tim, no exudation.

the exudation stops on maturity, the body darkens to a red brown/black and falls, IME the exudation lasts the duration of active sporalation, and ceases when spore production does.

Yeah I get that Tony, good insight

Though these ones from a day or two before the Alice Holt one, are pretty much at the same stage if not further along, and still have gutation.

 

I guess the persistent recent rain has done for the AH one.

note though how the guttation in these late mature brackets is at the very outer rim, the freshest (last produced) series in the cell generation, the last to sporalate, and the last to cease guttation.
