    Ischnoderma benzoinum, IMO (95% certain) is what you have
  5. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    it is NOT I obliqous, which only forms a black encrusted anamorph on the tree usualy birches, the sexual stage is a mass over the rootplate. your bracket is very very much of an aged benzoin, I will try to find you an image, the black with brown band is very typical IMO

    Horse manure from mushroom farms in the yellow bags, multi purpose reduced peat in the others, bought due to time constraint, today was my only and first chance to get to work, so sourcing alternatives to this compost was not possible. I do appreciate your pulling me up on it though, its a factor i was not 100% happy with either:thumbup1: mostly ive been using well rotted mulch/chip, but as i was doing brassicas, wanted less fungal presence more bacteria

    IMO this isnt an easy one to ident due to image quality but given the thickness of them, the spread and colour (Rugosum is browner) I would say its either Trametes versicolour for a first guess or stereum hirsutum because it appears to have an orange tone about it. was the pore surface smooth or obviously pored?
  15. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    this is chicken of the woods, and the fungi posted bares no resemblance whatsoever, im sorry.
