King Offa's oak, a few hundred yards up the lane...... .

a mere blink in the eye of a true ancient Windsor oak five years apart..... .

Yes, Armillaria Out of interest, did you try looking at the directory at the Armillaria gallery? Both Meripilus & Grifola have pores rather than gills like your example check out the red links for reference. .

Meripilus giganteus and Ganoderma applanatum .

Only a single unit of 60 minutes ?

Would think Lycoperdon pedicellatum . -
One can aspire to nerdiness .

Yes, I believe I have. In early perennial fruit body formation where there is high level of hydration the flesh (context) can be fairly 'spongy' in some species before it dries and becomes fibrous .

Great location for the 50th anniversary conference Well chosen Shame I missed the last couple of days due to work commitments Fine range of speakers from across Europe, enjoyed both the learning & the socialising. Would still like to see more put on for the contractors, like the evening bbq & Graeme Mcmahon lecture a couple of years ago. .

It sits at the top of a slope and is at the edge of a small park next to a quite residential road. A reduction has been carried out in the last 18 months or so. .

a beech in a London Borough that has had Meripilus giganteus associated for a significant period. there are bark wounds to both the trunk and buttress roots .

Buff-tip moth - Phalera bucephala http://www.forestry.gov.uk/fr/INFD-8GQDXF .

Both Armillaria melea in the first shot I'd think. Second ones a little more difficult. May be Abortiporus .

Very good indeed, Teds always an entertaining (and knowledgable) experience ! have to get back to work tomorrow so cut my conference. If Glens mailing you he's not paying enough attention to the speakers .

Sparassis crispa - the cauliflower fungus, here on Cedar .

I suspect the white will change to brown fairly quickly. Likely to be of the same species as the other Gano's on the tree. Any shots of those? I would 'guess' at lipsiense/applanatum .

Adam, I haven't got the time but it may be worth you trawling the 17 pages of records on the FRDBI data base for Phaeolus. It goes back to 1850 for this species and has 1665 records across a number of tree hosts. Although not exhaustive it could give you an idea of what to avoid. British Fungi - record details .

I don't imagine they're Fomes Kevin, I see where you're coming from but I think the flesh is too dark and not that fibrous/rusty texture/colour you'd expect from Fomes. Probably more Ganoderma. Only once seen Fomes on ash myself, and that was in France this summer. .

There are a few procera vars, from what I understand. So variation in form may be quite wide ? .
