    Sulphur tuft

    it has gills not pores so likely Armillaria species not Meripilus

    it is indeed the season to see fungi, bit of a photo dump of species i've seen this week at Thetford, Knettishall Heath, Newmarket & Risby.

    The Alder bracket , was Inonotus radiatus now Xanthoporia radiata Inonotus radiatus, Xanthoporia radiata, Alder Bracket WWW.FIRST-NATURE.COM
  6. David Humphries
    Yep, resinaceum

    Nice, been looking but not seen any this year.
  8. David Humphries
    I think it’s probably Rigidoporus ulmarius, ideally cutting a small wedge out of the edge of the bracket to show the flesh and tube layer often helps with identification.

    Could be 👍

    Ascocoryne sarcoides, Purple Jellydisc fungus WWW.FIRST-NATURE.COM Maybe

    Is it an oak apple gall, fallen from the tree?

    What tree species were they associating with?
  14. David Humphries
    Based on the tree species and spore deposits being brown, it’s worth considering Pholiota populnea, but may be old Pholiota squarrosa with its cap scales having been washed off by rain.

    The black bootlaces on the exposed wood in the 2nd image are likely the rhizomorphs of an Armillaria species of fungi. It will be decaying the section of dysfunctional wood volume that may be associated with dead roots on that side of the tree or trunk damage caused by an impact or bonfire some years previously.

    Saw some on an oak at Westonbirt on Friday, don’t see them too often.

    ?

    Fungal mycelium of a species like Fomes fomentarius

    I’d say it somewhat depends on the LA and what you do with that job opportunity.

    I think he's the one on top of the beast thinking that he's gonna need a bigger saw !

    a quick nip in to the Fitzwilliam museum on a dank & dreichy day in Cambridge and this painting by Hendrick van Anthonissen reminded me of this fine old thread
  23. David Humphries
    Look like one of the Stemonitis slime molds.
  24. David Humphries
    Top are Ganoderma species, middle may be old Psuedoinonotus dryadeus and yes would agree on Flammulina species.

    In my experience Mark, managing it in a population of 7,000-10,000 oak trees in north London where we have had the ‘pest’ for the last 9 years, OPM doesn’t kill (healthy) oak trees. Birds, bats and specialist tachinid flies are naturally controlling the ‘pest’ They caterpillars do ofcourse cause rashes, but mostly to the people who are surveying the trees and removing the nests.
