| | | Polyporus leptocephalus
I'm thinking this has all the attributes for P.leptocephalus (a first for me). 
Underside, i gess quite young as the pores are very fine, it has a plesant fungusy smell. 
Close by another fruit body emerging. 
Oh and another F.pinicola, both species were on rotten Ash (Fraxinus) trunks lying on
wet ground.
Cheers J.P.

Believe this is a Polyporus leptocephalus developing, it has made
suprisingly little progress in two days.

Sorry to put a spoke in the works but isn't the recommended English name for leptocephalus the Blackfoot Polypore because it should have a Black Foot 
Like this 
Hopefully somebody will tell us that when they are young they don't have this identifying feature.

i'm perfectly happy with your comments, when i started the thread i was
hopeing for comments either way as it was a new species to me, this
developing on the same rotten ash i assume will be the same but may be
a different species. I just hope its left alone to complete development and maybe a black foot, have had a frustrating time with some myxo's i posted last week dissapearing (sometime just snail trails left) before i could photo
the mature fruitbody.

I know the species as P. varius, and it is not uncommon. Yes it looks right to me. I'm not sure if the black stipe base is a feature that appears at maturity. |

It's still forming but oh so slow, and there is little light in the location.

At last it is something like well grown, several more initials now on
the same group of fallen/rotten ash. 
And yes, i noticed yet another beautiful group of Fomitopsis pinicola, considering
their location it's a mystery i hadn't noticed them before, that's now 11 different
trees sporting the species.
Cheers J.P.
