Thanks Mike, I thought that it must be feeding on something dead. I’ll go back and give it a sniff and check the stems for liquid. Will let you know. Cheers

I noticed this fungus on the trunks of two separate trees (a lime and a sycamore). Both trees were alive but appeared to be of low vigour (short twig extension growth). The wood close to the mushroom beneath the bark on the sycamore was brownish and slightly gritty in texture. From ident pictures the fungus looks like a Mycena spp, I think. Is this a saprophytic fungus taking advantage of a portion of dead bark on a declining tree? Or a parasitic fungus? Any comments?
