    One reason is that spraying will kill indigenous Lepidoptera (butterflies/moths) that specifically associate with oak.
  2. David Humphries
    Great share Mick 😎
  3. David Humphries
    That’s likely to be Fomes fomentarius but need’s more images to be certain. Ideally when you’re trying to get an ID you need to present images of the top surface as well as the underside and where possible a slice/wedge of the flesh/trama from inside the bracket showing the colour and texture.
  4. David Humphries
    I think this would be Phlebia radiata
  5. David Humphries
    I’d agree with Perenniporia
  6. David Humphries
    Have a look at Pleurotus dryinus for comparison.
  7. David Humphries
    I think this is a perennial bracket and likely to be a Ganoderma species. Although the images aren’t very clear the pores on the underside look too small for Cerioporus squamosus.

    Fungal beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 😄 I think these are funnel caps, either trouping or clouded,

    I couldn’t be arsed, but just for you 😉 Coral - Magpie inkcap - Nail fungus Blewit - half free Morel - Fly agaric Dog stinkhorn - Parasitic boletes - Beefsteak Scarlet Elfcups - Silky rosegill - Wrinkled peach

    Some of my favourite fungi finds this year from Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and north London
  11. David Humphries
    Fomitopsis pinicola, red banded polypore
  12. David Humphries
    Might be Perenniporia fraxinea, we have that association at work on a number of Robinia.
  13. David Humphries
    Defo Fistulina, often see them at height like this
  14. David Humphries
    Yep, Rhodotus palmatus. what was the substrate, elm or sycamore?
  15. David Humphries
    Looks like Ganoderma pfeifferi try scratching the surface, if it leaves behind a yellow waxy substance, then that’s the clincher. common name is the bees wax bracket
  16. David Humphries
    The parasitic Bolete, Psuedodboletus parasiticus. Boletes are usually mycorrhizal having mutually beneficial associations with tree roots, but this species parasitizes on the common earth ball, Scleroderma citrinum.
  17. David Humphries
    Both Mycena pura and rosea are variable but in my experience are quite different to your specimens.
  18. David Humphries
    with deciduous trees more likely to be Laccaria amethystea as entoloma sp are found with coniferous. They can look very similar and the same gill arrangement, the main difference is spore colour Laccaria is white Entoloma is brownish/pink .
  19. David Humphries
    What tree species were they near?
  20. David Humphries
    if there’s a slight pink tinge to the base of the stem (pink hyphae) then it’s likely to be collinitis, if there isn’t any pink, then probably granulatus
  21. David Humphries
    probably a trichoderma mould species
  22. David Humphries
    If pores, then they may be one of the mycorrhizal bolete species like Suillus collinitus or Suillus granulatus.
  23. David Humphries
    Can you ask your friend if they had gills or pores Rich?
  24. David Humphries
    Xylaria polymorpha (dead man’s fingers)
  25. David Humphries
    A slime mould species Mike, did you lick it? 😁 possibly one of the Physarum species.
