Definatly looks like Phellinus tuberculosis, am a tree officer for West Sussex and we have seen this on significent percentage of our Prunus cerassifera street trees. Sent off a sample to the "Association of British Fungus Groups" and they gave positive ID (for free) so great help.

many thank to all those who gave me their opinion on this issue, Bundle 2 and Monkey-D it seems you guys were correct and it is Phellinus tuberculosus which was the one I was leaning towards , have had this confirmed by ABFG (Assosiation of British Fungi Group) who were extremely helpfull, sent them an email of pics and then a sample of fruiting body and for no cost their specialists confimed what it was, definately might be a usefull source of info for future reference guys.

Have recently found numerous prunus cerasifera with this fungi on or around the main fork. Is causing some dispute between fellow tree officers, all acnowledge that it is a Phellinus species but cant agree on which one, can anyone out there give a definitive ID

This fungi has been found on numerous Prunus cerasifera in the area, whilst I know that its a Phellinus species and have my own opinion on which one, its causing some disagreement amongst fellow tree officers and was wondering if anyone out there can clarify it for me ???????????????? , many thanks
