Anyone know what these are?

First one found on a sycamore below an old pruning cut. Second found at the base of a Beech.

Second one is definately a mycorrhizal Russula species

 

Perhaps Russula noblis

Can't really make out enough detail for the first one.

Thanks mate. Any likely candidates? No kit with me so can't climb it to get a better shot today. Will be back again in a couple of weeks to carry out work. Will try to get a better shot then.

I would hazard a guess at Dryads Saddle on the Sycamore, often present on old pruning wounds IME.

 

The Beech could be an emergent Gannoderma perhaps.

 

There, now where did that "Mr Humphries" disappear to?

 

TTFN..
