bracket id help pls

[willog]

Hello, can anyone help id these please. Found on a chinese euonymus, main stem to approx 3m high and also on roots upto 1m out. Many thanks

My suggestion would be Perenniporia fraxinea.

My suggestion would be Perenniporia fraxinea.

 

Thanks. That was my initial thought but see pic 1, thought the flesh colour too dark?

[Alinicoll]

I don't think so. It's more the absence of white ish flesh and orange tubes that you would expect of Rigidoporus that incline me to think its Perenniporia.

[Kveldssanger]

Almost strikes me as Porodaedalea pini on steroids, with regards to the colouration and morphology. Unsure about Perenniporia fraxinea, as the trama (flesh) seems to be too rustic in colour. Do you have any close-up shots of the tube layer and flesh, etc? From these photos alone, it's hard to really make any concrete suggestions.

 

When you say Chinese euonymous, what is the scientific name for the tree? Too vague of a description with the host.

[David Humphries]

Fuscoporia torulosa (formerly known as Phellinus torulosus) is worth considering, there are records of it hosted on Euonymus.

That'd align with my thoughts on it being a Phellinus species (or what was once considered Phellinus pini). Never heard of that polypore - will check it out.

[willog]

Hi, thanks for the responses. Species is phellomanus

[willog]

I'll get some more shots of pores and flesh early in the week. Thanks

[willog]

Hello. As promised some more close up shots of flesh and pore layer. Been looking at photos and reading about fuscoporia, looks very similar. Thanks for the input, must admit id not heard of it.
