    Stump puff balls (Lycoperdon pyriforme)

    Ganoderma resinaceum

    ‘If’ it’s Gymnopus junonius, it’s is a saprotroph that will be taking its sustenance within dysfunctional areas of the damaged wood volumes (probably the roots) It will be a slow process of degradation. If the tree is in decline due to more than the root damage (other disease/dysfunction) the fungi will be part of the succession of the ongoing decline.

    Difficult to be sure when the specimens are starting to over mature. Easier when they are in early development. host (although found associating with a wide range of broadleaves) Cap colour (although a little faded here) No cap scales (although they may have washed off) Gill colour Gills are crowded Gills possibly adnate remnant ring on stipe and a hunch 😁

    A slice of the bracket to show flesh and tube colour would help with identification, also an idea of spore colour is useful. Worth considering Rigidoporus ulmarius and Perenniporia fraxinea
  6. David Humphries
    Maybe worth considering Gymnopilus junonius
  7. David Humphries
    Brown flesh, white pore layer. Ganoderma species, possibly Ganoderma adspersum/australe
  8. David Humphries
    Not its typical form, but worth considering White saddle (Helvella crispa) usually looks like this....
  9. David Humphries
    Hard to be sure without clearer id features but Macrolepiota procera has brown scales on the stem which these don’t appear to have so worth considering one of the shaggy parasols like Chlorophylum rhacodes
  10. David Humphries
    Yep
  11. David Humphries
    Probably Golden scaly cap (Pholiota aurivella) but may also be its close relative Pholiota adiposa.

    @slack ma girdle Pluteus aurantiorugosus Rhodotus palmatus
  14. David Humphries
    Likely to be the Flame Shield (Pluteus aurantiorugosus) Pluteus aurantiorugosus, Flame Shield mushroom WWW.FIRST-NATURE.COM

    What’s it on?

    Last week at Staverton Park, Suffolk

    Nice find !
  18. David Humphries
    Based on the tree host, if your examples have yellow pores and the pores and flesh bruises blue when cut then i would suggest comparing either Caloboletus radicans (the rooting bolete) or Caloboletus calapus (the bitter beech bolete). If the examples have yellow pores and do not bruise when touched or cut then worth comparing to Hemileccinum impolitum (the iodoine bolete).

    G. junonius will have a ring on the stem and rust orange gills.
  20. David Humphries
    Did these definitely have gills? Any shots from underneath? they ‘look’ more like a Bolete species to me.
  21. David Humphries
    Sad to hear, thoughts with his family and friends
  22. David Humphries
    Not likely to be fungi, possibly bleeding canker like Phytophthora (P. cactorum or P. plurivora) Or possible vascular dysfunction caused by a root pathogen like Armillaria.

    Depends on your experience, but it may be worth considering the Basic TI course to cover the fundamental aspects of inspection before moving toward the intermediate level and then Professional TI after gaining 2/3 years work field experience.

    Murphy the fung mutt sniffing out the fruits of the forest with me. Not an Arbdog in the strict sense, as he's never been at work with me on a felling site but comes out occasionally whilst inspecting.
