Went out to spot fungi today...

[Kveldssanger]

What I do on my days off really is rather sad, eh!

 

Can anyone ID the two species below, please.

 

First one is taken, in two places (first one a moderately-sized log and the second on an old coppice stump), from dead sweet chestnut wood. Could it be L. sulphureus? Unsure as most brackets I have seen have been far larger and more numerous / tufty.

 

 

Second one is taken on a mature oak. I'm thinking either early G. resinaceum or I. dryadeus (leaning more towards the former), though I am unsure.

I recon you are right, 1st one looks like L.sulphureus and 2nd looks like G. Resinaceum

[David Humphries]

Agree with Paul

 

Nice finds Chris

Cheers for the confirmation guys.

 

Saw a cracker of a P. betulinus, too, on a clearly-stressed birch with serious mechanical damage from surrounding vegetation clearance work.

[Kveldssanger]

Here's the birch polypore gallery. One was likely desiccated from last year or earlier this (not sure on their decomposition rates), though two remain.

Here's some L. sulphureus fruiting within the butt of an old, wind-thrown oak (long dead):

 

Not sure what this is - on a P. nigra. Either the decay facilitated the major limb failure, or succeeded into the exposed environment following wounding. The only thing I can think of is P. schweinitzii in a somewhat (over?) mature state, having not seen brackets on pines until today. The underside looks like I. hispidus, though I am not aware of its presence on pines.

 

Link to unknown fungus -

 

Plenty of Bjerkandera adusta out, as well.

Phellinus schweinitzii or Phellinus pini

Is it Phellinus schweinitzii now, or is that a typo? Bloody fungi name changes! Do I recall correctly that I. dryadeus is now Pseudo-Innonotus too, or was it just a sick twisted mind meddling nightmare? :eek:

A bit more than a typo

 

 

Phaeolus schweinitzii

 

 

Tomatoe - Tomato

 

 

and yes, I. dryadeus is now Psuedoinnonotus dryadeus .......currently
