    Cheers. Certainly getting better with fungal forays. Need to start learning the stuff on the ground soon!

    For those good with search engines beginning with G, one can observe that Kirklees Council have, so very kindly, probably answered your question.

    I hadn't thought of that one as I didn't know it was found in the UK at all! I have read about it on the continent (Finland, for example). I'd say it is indeed a good fit. Thanks, David - once again!

    And sod macro zooms. Olympic gold medal is on its way via DHL. Credit goes to Betula and Alan for partaking in this image, while I stood behind the camera!

    Second one was a very much a live oak. Looks like it could be this species, too!

    Got a little excited seeing the below around Windsor. Buglossoporus pulvinus (syn: Piptoporus quercinus). Very cool! First tree was a dead oak.
  7. Kveldssanger
    It couldn't be that, but thanks for trying to help! The flesh colour of P. dryadeus is a rusty brown, and this was pure white / cream coloured. Only ever known it to occur on oak and, according to Watson & Green, also beech very rarely. Shame though, as it does look like that outwardly.

    Plenty of internal barriers to spending money of aftercare. Watering can cost a fair but if done properly, and budget-holders may very well be aghast at the final costs involved, and therefore choose to just not permit aftercare at all - or a watered-down version; pardon the pun. Not at all surprising when I see dying young tree after dying young trees on LA land. If the lack of water didn't kill the tree, the stake and tie left on after 5-10 years did.

    Probably both. I doubt there were any SUDS that fixed into underground irrigation systems for these planes, no silva-celled system, no nothing. Just a small hole and a lack of long-term vision. The price tag isn't so bad if they had survived, though supporting local nurseries would have been much better.

    I wonder what sort of non-existent aftercare these trees had... such a waste of 29 young trees.

    Should've strawpolled it there and then. Nobody can fault a man's enthusiasm for fungi!

    I wouldn't want to be a beech tree down that road... If you know the road email the council's TO and get them to knock at the door? Might even be a TPOd tree, as it's quite prominent. I know this one haha. Ushered away far too many times from trees on my holiday last week (put some good ones in your sticky thread).
  14. Kveldssanger
    I admit if it isn't that I don't know what else it could be, as I don't deal with too many pines around my way. I noted that the flesh's whiteness is comparable to Piptoporus betulinus. I don't think it's a Postia sp., as it's too large and / or not white enough on the outer surface. Potentially Postia stiptica gone slightly tanned? Though the tubes aren't 6-10mm deep, as Jordan says in his book. The tubes are shallower than birch polypore.

    That Perenniporia is so abundant it has even colonised the wall! I wonder what the owner thinks. Do they even know?
  16. Kveldssanger
    Holy..!
  17. Kveldssanger
    Could be G. resinaceum judging by the tanned colour of the upper developing surface, though at the very least I'd say it's very likely to be one species of Ganoderma.
  18. Kveldssanger
    Go to any new development near to where you live and look for 10+ newly-planted trees roadside / on green areas. Then review.
  19. Kveldssanger
    Good post, Gary.
  20. Kveldssanger
    Gut feeling was Polyporus squamosus. Lower one almost certainly is - stalked and a developing fan-shaped sporophore. Growth on the upper one seems too uneven to be Rigidoporus - perhaps P. squamosus or Ganoderma (probably australe). Could even be Laetiporus sulphureus.
  21. Kveldssanger
    Saw this on Brownsea Island. Thinking it's potentially young Heterobasidion, due to the flesh colour, pore layer, rigid structure, and the really strong smell of fungus. Images linked you can zoom in to. Cannot say for certain as I have never seen it before - in fact, I rarely see fungi on conifers down in Essex, as there aren't many conifers besides young and brutalised atlas cedars, lawsons, and leylandiis! Cheers. fungi on pine - Album on Imgur Unfortunately the images don't seem to be arranged well!

    8. So I also got over to Brownsea Island, during the week. The missus was on the hunt for red squrrels, whilst I was on the hunt for fungi. Came across these massive Ganoderma australe on a now dead Fagus sylvatica in an area near to the parkland. It was great to see a little sign explaining what the fungus was and why it was left, next to the tree. Great educational tool!
  23. Kveldssanger
    The other half has family down there so get an excuse to go down every year! Will go down next year when they let the pigs out for pannage. Magical place - never seen so many colours. Walking through a small woodland of holly pollards was different, too!

    7. When afternoon tea (or fruit smoothie) becomes a fungi hunt at Highcliffe Castle in... Highcliffe (near Christchurch). First time I have seen Acer pseudoplatanus being colonised by Rigidoporus ulmarius.

    6. Driving through what I recall was Brockenhurst, I went past this lovely roadside oak. Courtesy of parked cars and oncoming traffic, I had enough time to inspect the base of the tree, and spotted this magnificent Fistulina hepatica. Easily missed in the afternoon sun! Also the best one of many beefsteaks I saw on oak and sweet chestnut - half of which were the anamorph stage.
