Way up there in the crown!

What I consider to be Daedaleopsis confragosa. May check next week with binoculars. Always pays to look up (or in this case, it pays for my colleague to let me know he looked up and that I should too).

I think that would be the biggest set of Daedaleopsis confragosa ever.

 

Obviously a difficult example to Id from distance but I wonder if it's possibly a very persistent chicken.

 

The pores look very small and un-maze like for either D. confragosa or D. quercina

 

How big would you say these were?

Erm, maybe 20cm across (including all bracket parts you can see next to one another in the image). My colleague thought it was D. confrgosa as well. Will take binoculars back and look on Monday to check. Laeti hadn't crossed my mind as it just didn't come across as being one, but you may be right actually.

If it is Laeti then it is becoming the bane of my ident life! Hahah.

 

Doubt is such a wonderful emotion...

Climb it and find out

Private tree. I tried knocking on their door but there was no answer. Binoculars it shall be. As the tree isn't TPO'd, I also don't want to make the owners feel inappropriately afraid of their tree and then fell it or something.

Fair enough. I'd love to be able to just knock a door and climb their tree for fun!

You'll stop wanting to do that after a while, I guarantee it:001_smile:

Very hard topping 20/25 years ago at a guess btw.

Binoculars suggest its very unlikeky to be Laetiporus. Perhaps Daedalea quercina, instead. Hard to say, even with binoculars. One of the maze gills.
