    A good call Kevin, had crossed my mind but would like to see a closer crisper image .

    'If' it is a mold then it's probably just a case of perfect damp conditions for the spore to get a hold and reproduce. What side of the tree is this on? What's the raised substrata underneath (whatever it is).......is it just bark? .
  3. David Humphries
    Difficult to hazard a guess from the image I would think its a mold more than of fungal origin though. What's the context? .
  4. David Humphries
    I think Stereum species are more pored than your example seems to show, it looks more like a toothed crust species from these images. Nice tree ! I like the fastigiate oaks. Planted these two in about '88 .

    chose first mature oak tree nearest to (and in general direction) known nest sites at each of the 4 locations. .

    Forest Research guys already had a trap at QP so we placed our 4 at golders, spaniards, highgate & the extension. the ones we have caught have mainly come from golders but some also from spaniards & the extension. We did have a look at the FR one in QP & they had a few males in there unsurprisingly. Any trapping in Harrow? .

    Nah Mick fresh as a daisy, drinks me under the table very time .
  8. David Humphries
    Likewise .

    Still believe this to be I. hispidus Thanks for updating Owen .

    That darn pesky ivy, thinks it's a shapeshifter and pretends to be fungi, so it does .
  11. David Humphries
    Perhaps Xerocomellus (boletus) chrysenteron .

    Murphy curled up and 'avin a snooze .

    Hello Craig, just seen this. We've been supplied with 'Pherobank' lures which I believe are from the Netherlands. They need replacing every two or three weeks as they deteriorate. Tbh, they seem to be pretty good at doing what they've been produced to do, which is to catch OPM specifically The first couple of weeks have lured in over 20 confirmed OPM moths (no other lepodoptera species) in a couple of the traps we've got out there. .

    Polyporus squamosus the dryads saddle the squamules (flakes on the surface of the cap) have desiccated http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/tree-fungi-82.html .
  15. David Humphries
    Podoscypha multizonata (the many zoned rosette) here at the base of hornbeam (unusually) .
  16. David Humphries
    the Inonotus was noted to be fruiting in july 2010 & the Laetiporus seen today I haven't noted the two to be fruiting at the same time on this tree. .
  17. David Humphries
    Brown & White rot once more, on this fine oak. .

    having said that there were people selling lots of Chanterelles in the markets around Burgundy and one of them in particular (last shot) was a bit funny about me taking images of him selling his produce so perhaps there are issues with how many are being harvested to be sold. .

    I'm getting there...... Fantastic time, cheers. you raise a very interesting point. I get the impression from talking to foragers both in France & northern Spain that they really only take what they need for their & their extended groups pots, which seems to me to be sustainable & in keeping with the lifestyle over there as opposed to here. Like the guy in the shot below who I met in the basque. But that's only from a relatively limited personal perspective. It's an ongoing debate across the mycology forums. .
  20. David Humphries
    Nice tree What's the history of the site? Tree with that much end weight can always benefit from some form of reduction, resource dependent. Fancy seeing it after work at some point? .
  21. David Humphries
    Surprisingly little in the way of fruiting around where I was staying in Burgundy over the last couple of weeks. here's what I understand (thanks to my handy local fungal 'over'-lord) to be Russula delicans - the Milk-white Brittlegill Mycorrhizal on the roots of these Picea at this rural church .
  22. David Humphries
    not really localised, as this is from Burgundy region. and looks to be on dead ash. .
  23. David Humphries
    'if' it is Pseudomonas syringae pathovar aesculi, the infection has been known to cease. So bleeds may have dried up. But the cankers on your example may have been caused by a n other pathogen not associated with the bleeding symptom. Try using the search function for threads specifically on HC bleeding canker .
  24. David Humphries
    looks like canker .
  25. David Humphries
    I'd say hispidus & resinaceum Nick .
