    Ozonium (mycelium outside of the wood volume) & inkcap fruiting body coming from the ozonium.
  2. David Humphries
    It’s known as Ozonium (or fire rug) it’s the air mycelium of certain ink cap species

    Corky wings

    Orange ones are likely to be Pholiota aurivella. Nice Sparassis !

    Thank you fellas, it was a really nice recognition and quite a humbling experience, particularly being virtually presented by Tony Kirkham. It's an award that has been afforded to me by the support of a large cast of people over the years from work, here at Arbtalk and elsewhere that have suffered and indulged me and my passion for all things trees, from tree health care, veteran tree management to fungi identification. I like to think that some inspiration has been sparked by my sharing and observations and that some of the blagging and drivel has been balanced by a few pearls here and there. Big thanks to Steve for giving us this great platform to interact with each other both in the cyber-world and at field meetings sharing our specialisms, experiences and failures to help us all along our various paths. Have made some good friends and acquaintances over my time here, long may that continue. I raise a virtual glass to you all.? ? ?

    Yes, these are Armillaria mellea, Honey fungus
  8. David Humphries
    Both Fistulina hepatica
  9. David Humphries
    Inonotus hispidus
  10. David Humphries
    Ganoderma resinaceum, the brown/cocoa spore colour confirms genus, it will be soft to touch which confirms it as one of the three annual UK Ganoderma species. If you wipe off the spore from the surface it will be a red resinous colour.

    Good to see you're still alive Deano ? How was the leather?
  12. David Humphries
    big mast year again
  13. David Humphries
    Vasates quadripedes - Maple bladder gall
  14. David Humphries
    Teraneura ulmi - Elm- grass root aphid gall
  15. David Humphries
    On ash? I think it looks like P. fraxinea. A slice/wedge of the flesh and tube layer would help confirm. Only other candidate that fits the look at that stage in development is Ganoderma resinaceum, but I think it’s likeky the former. another way to tell the difference between those two is the spore, white/cream for Perenniporia, brown/cocoa for G. resinaceum.
  16. David Humphries
    Spangle galls from the gall wasp (Neuroterus quercusbaccaram) not really a health issue for the tree in my experience
  17. David Humphries
    Great picture Matty, sums up the camaraderie and essence of Arbtalk and it’s members really well.
  18. David Humphries
    Very sad to hear, Alan was a great forum character, my sincere condolences to his close friends and family.
  19. David Humphries
    Possibly the start of a Trametes sp Maybe T gibbosa
  20. David Humphries
    Are the fruit bodies not on a tree volume beneath the ivy, Murray ? Look a bit like Fuscoporia torulosa
  21. David Humphries
    Image not really close enough, but have a look at Coprinellus disseminatus (fairy ink caps)
  22. David Humphries
    You mean of course ‘pores’ ?
  23. David Humphries
    That is a bit of a corker
  24. David Humphries
    I think the bracket has grown around the seedling, annual and perennial brackets grow rapidly during initial development.
  25. David Humphries
    Grows with apples and sorbus as well. Depends (as with most of these fung things) on vitality of the tree. Munches away at it nicely, not as significant as ash due to heartwood but often you can see wood pecker holes in the wood volumes in colonised areas and I've noted failed branches associated with it.
