Developing fruit bodies

Have you got a shot of the Perenni at the Whip, when you took the first wedge?

LOL:lol:

 

me, NEVER!

Been watching this "stump" for a little while.

Thought it was Ganoderma resinaceum at first, now sure that it is Perenniporia fraxinea

Will be more careful with my 'visual' Id around these two in the future

My contribution to the special photo's of Fistulina hepatica, in this case at 6 metres hight on the about 25 degrees slanting trunk of a not very old Castanea sativa.

Pluerotus development on Beech.

Inonotus hispidus over a couple of weeks

Inonotus hispidus on ash a year apart.

Slightly different fruiting position.

interesting to see the decline from one year to the next!

[David Humphries]

Sorbus failure (due to what I'd imagine is Inonotus hispidus)

 

Then last shot, 49 days later - Bjerkandera adusta, fruiting on the exposed decayed wood.

May I ask why you expect hispidus? I came across a sorbus failure earlier this year with what looks like very similar decay. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=47770 the brackets shown appeared so soon after failure I expect they are the primary cause of decay, rather than secondarily utilizing dead/decayed wood; like your adusta (I think) are.

Didn't say I 'expect' I said I'd 'imagine'

Huge difference

 

MO seems to fit.

The heart of the tree (at height) being affected by what appears to be white (simultaneus) rot.

 

I've noted hispidus on Sorbus here a few times (although not noted fruiting on the above failed tree)

 

Not very scientific I know, but its what I've got to go on
