What is this?

[David Humphries]

Any updates on your hunches, David?

 

Even with the size and lack of blushing issues, I think that a weird fruiting of D. confragosa can't be ruled out.

 

Try and get some spore.

Paul said that earlier, actually. He pinched some of the underside and it appeared to 'blush'.

 

If I get some spores, what do I do with them?

[David Humphries]

I wasn't thinking any further than colour

I shall return tomorrow, on the way to seeing the missus!

 

Should I just get a cutting and then place the bracket on paper and get a print, or just tap the bracket onto some paper and keep the brackets all in situ?

Dark paper will highlight the white spore if it's confragosa

Managed to get a few spores and they came out white. The belowside of the bracket also bruised upon touch (both on Friday and today), so probably D. confragosa would you say?

 

Some images from today:

I think that's a good chase down for the Id

 

Can't see anything now that would say its anything other than confragosa.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You absolutely sure its not chicken though ?

(Paul may appreciate that ^^)

 

Thanks for help on this one and, as always, it's hugely appreciated. I hadn't considered D. confragosa because the morphology on the upper surface (and the size / arrangement) was just too 'off' from what I usually have seen. Have you seen them adopt such a form prior to this?

Chris- Don't you think the underside looks similar to Daedaleopsis confragosa? Way bigger of course but then I do remember that Daedaleopsis confragosa does look simiar to D.quercina- on the underside at least. Daedaleopsis confragosa is associated with Prunus spp? Maybe it is closely related.
