    Having just got back from a Romanian adventure i thought I would add a few special fungi that ive been wanting to see in the flesh in their true environments, these are not common in the U.k but can be found occasionaly. In Romania they where as normal as Trametes or Ganodermas are here, and I only found a couple of Ganos in the whole trip, G. applanatums. Fommes was also abundant, but by far the most common of the big brackets where Phelinus igniarius and Fomitopsis pinicola AKA the red banded polypore. (above) Phelinus igniarius on Alder F. fommentarius on Willow Fomitopsis pinicola on Prunus Pycnoporus cinnabarinus on Prunus avium also possibly T. ochracea (white) F. pinicola on spruce Possibly Trametes ochracea F. fommentarius on Fagus Phelinus igniarius (the willow bracket) on Willow Inonotus hispidus on Ash pollard Willow pollards front of image with P. igniarius
