Inonotus dryadus me thinks, whats it on?

Where'd you find that one Tom?

We found some beauties at a school recently.

Meripilus and Perenniporia

have a look here

 

AIE - Tree Fungi - Inonotus dryadeus

[tommer9]

That was at Pencarrow House, down the house end of the main drive if you know it. Bend round to the right at the house end of the main drive, and there is an ilex on your right, you cant miss the fungus.

 

Those are awesome pics there- i saw some good perenniporia up near Wadebridege last week, (not that i knew it was that until i saaw your photo though:blushing:) but ot on that scale!

What they all said.

[Rowan the Bruce]

No not familiar with Pencarrow House, Perenniporia is apparently fairly rare not down here obviously, saw an Inonotus hispidius on a red oak at the welsh tree climbing comp a couple of weeks ago, hope you're well mate.
