    We’re looking at September

    Interesting question. Why do you ask and what do you think are the most important fungi to know? Any knowledge or experience of ones you’ve seen on and around trees? Thats a good starting point.

    Hello David Sarcoscypha sp. either ruby elfcup (S. coccinea) or Scarlett elfcup (S. austriaca) spore size under microscope needed to determine which one.

    I couldn't really comment on this tree without seeing the whole tree in context to its surroundings and the condition of the crown and twig extension growth. Anecdotally I've had oaks with decades old associations with dryadeus basal colonisation stand through significant storms, I've also had trees blow over in high winds with dryadeus. Tree vitality and exposure is key.

    One of I’ve seen recently at Epping Forest. ?

    Psuedoinonotus ‘dryadeus’ but i think that’s what you meant?
  8. David Humphries
    Quite common in woodlands on dead wood volumes Gary
  9. David Humphries
    a little variable in surface colour but not unusual to be dark brown (slightly reddish) towards maturation. If in doubt always worth cracking open to look at flesh and tubes ?

    Fomitopsis betulina

    Not one I see very often, but oddly enough I did come across one on a car park railing a couple of days ago. Literally parked right on top of it ?

    If it has gills rather than pores, try looking at Gloeophyllum sepiarium. (Conifer mazegill)
  14. David Humphries
    Moth larvae perhaps
  15. David Humphries
    Resinaceum be my guess
  16. David Humphries
    Have you got any images of the flesh and tube layer(s) Not sure what it is to be honest, but don’t think it’s either the anamorph or the teleomorph of Fistulina. last couple of images remind me of Heterobasidion, but the other shots don’t quite add up.

    Nice ! Look like Inonotus hispidus don’t they.

    Currently in Wroclaw, Poland at a trees and climate conference and have had the chance to look at the local trees and their fungal associations. Mostly from Szczytnicki park.
  19. David Humphries
    Look like Armillaria mellea to me, has the ring on the stem to rule out Armillaria tabescens (the ringless honey fungus) ideally would need to see the base to be able to rule in or out Armillaria gallica/bulbosa (the bulbose honey fungus)

    Arb Association fungi on trees: An Arborists Field Guide
  21. David Humphries
    Yep

    Very little text out there on it’s ecology, from observations I’d say it’s primarily associated with older root systems with associated dysfunction. I’ve excavated a couple of fruitbodies in the past to trace back mycelium to wood volumes and in both cases found it directly attached on dead roots. We have it hosting with pendunculate, sessile and red oak as well as beech, lime and hornbeam on our trees in north London. Don’t think it’s as scarce as records seem to indicate.

    Mostly argentine tango but occasionally known to fox trot ?
  24. David Humphries
    Nice example Nick
  25. David Humphries
    Anomorphic form of Fistulina hepatica rather than the more common telomorphic form.
