    Cheers for the additional info Ben .
  2. David Humphries
    Any before shot of it standings? .
  3. David Humphries
    I think your on the money .
  4. David Humphries
    A substantial ring of the clouded funnel, Clitocybe nebularis. .
  5. David Humphries
    Gymnopilus junonius being 'spectacular' on this beech monolith .
  6. David Humphries
    One of the slime molds I would of thought, but in that state I couldn't offer up a particular species. .
  7. David Humphries
    cool, look forward to seeing it. .

    I'd imagine that is white spore (you can see it on the cobwebs and bramble leaves) which would seemingly rule out G. resinaceum as you're no doubt aware it being a brown sporulator. When was the image taken? The pores look wrong for (Psuedo)inonotus dryadeus, but it looks to be on oak? That would seem to be a decent fit. .

    I've seen it both on Hornbeam stumps and live standing trees. I not noted any examples of failed root plates. I would say being diffuse porous that it would be similar to beech. I've seen Ganoderma go through hornbeam like a dose of salts ! .

    1st one possibly Coprinus truncorum, 2nd one no idea, third one Oudemansiella mucida. .

    One of the yellow club fungi (Clavulinopsis helvola) spotted in an orchard today, here looking a bit festive with holly and crab apples. .

    You're welcome. The earth stars and puffballs are fascinating little fungi There's a gallery on Geastrum in the directory on the main website. .
  13. David Humphries
    One of the Geastrum sp, perhaps the collared Earth star G. triplex .

    I didn't measure the stem Kevin, yellow ring is just showing the extent of the fruit bodies on the roots of the birch. Just a microsoft paint squiggle. Doing a more accurate RPA on three veteran oaks tomorrow and will be using the ATF's 15x stem diameter or 5m beyond drip line rather than the 5837 model .

    A sprinkling of mycorrhizal fruiting across this birch root plate with Amanita muscaria at its base and a couple of different Lactarius sp interacting with the root tips out toward the periphery. .

    Meripilus giganteus does host on Hornbeam. the right hand side gill like section in the last image could be gills, but could perhaps also be, as Kevin suggested, flesh fibres. Merip is fairly stringy. I see where you're coming from with Pleurotus though. Here's some relatively desiccated images of Mg from various different trees..... .
  17. David Humphries
    Has a look of Ganoderma lucidum about it ? .

    Like JLA I've been planting trees both at work and out and about with my kids over the last few years to mark National Tree Week. The ones below from about 7 years ago. I think the answers above (although I suspect not indicative of all AT members) suggests that the Tree Council has some work to do yet ! .
  19. David Humphries
    Sorry Guy, do you mean fruiting from roots 5m from the trunk? .
  20. David Humphries
    If you have the time, get yourself up along to the Hermitage. Fine walk and trees .
  21. David Humphries
    Not unless there are fruit bodies present, the decay doesn't really present with body language. .
  22. David Humphries
    Perhaps the early stage of the brown rot decay of Piptoporus betulinus .
  23. David Humphries
    Your welcome, for help with identifying fungi in the field, Arbtalk developed an App for smart phones. Smart Phone Apps for Arborists - screenshots Check it out, it's pretty good .
  24. David Humphries
    It sounds like it may be Oudemensiella mucida, the porcelain fungi. Have a look in the fungi directory in the links on the main Arbtalk website for images and information on that species. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/tree-fungi-74.html .

    Thought it was a PM .
