    Marley, what a wonderful collection of tree fungi! :gnthb: What luck finding so many different ones - I'm green with envy.


    The one on post # 72 - could it be the poisonous Jelly Rot Merulius tremellosus? It looks like it in the smart book I bought last September while in England.

    :scratch::D Hmmm could be Kedi, but know I am wondering if it is perhaps something more like Panellus stipticus Bitter oysterling...??? The tree stump is about 2ft in diameter so they are not small by any means, but they are dry & hard to the touch...:scratch:

    Marley I think it's Chicken in the woods looking at the specimen some of it is quite old and has shrunk there is an algae film growing on the outside so it's been there a while,Bitter Oysterling has quite a distinct wavy edge and they do look like oystershells from above,have a look at this link see what you think, http://www.first-nature.com/fungi/id_guide/poriales/laetiporus_sulphureus.htm

    :scratch: Well Walnut I have just spent ages looking again & I have to agree, it must be old Chicken in the woods as you say.... It seems the more I look the more undecided I am...:roll::D Both you & Pal think so, so we will agree on it then I think:wink::hehe: I do think it is a handsome cluster whether old or new...!!:D

    Lovely shot, Boghopper :thumb: I've never seen one in real.

    Amongst other things, they are "good luck charms" over here. You can buy little artificial ones.

    I found this fairly large toadstool on Sunday. It was about 16 - 17 cm across.

    Who can ID it please?
