Confusing Polypores

[Nettle Runner]

Anston Stones Wood 18 June 2008

On finding these two, I thought I had different Sp. but on checking with Philips, they do look to be Polyporus Squamosus. But no black foot to be seen on either





and the second





The one I found with a black foot is Polyporus leptocephalus



An I correct with Polyoporus Sqamosus for the first two, and why no blackfoot

I would say they look like very nice P.tuberaster.

Cheers J.P.

I would say so too. No sign of any black band indicating Polyoporus Sqamosus.

And so would I - very nice specimen !

This specimen represents what was known at one time as Polyporus lentus but that is now considered the same (synonymous) as P. tuberaster.
