Confusing Brackets

[Nettle Runner]

Anston Stones Wood 28/29 June 2008

The majority of brackets to be found in the 'Stones' are Ganoderma applanatum (Artist Bracket). I need help with these more unusual sp found this w/e.





I could not make up my mind as to mazegill or not. However, I now consider Daedaleopsis confragosa to be a possibility. It looks like it is a well established sp on this cut down trunk, as there are many old specimens that have either fallen off, or have been knocked off, laying on the ground.





(terrible background) This bracket was growing on a standing trunk of a copiced tree, that had been broken off above the bracket. The hint of colour may suggest that it is not yet developed.





I always think I am about to be fooled by a Trametes versicolor.
Am I ?

Your comments and observations welcomed

Wouldn't be suprised if the first is Trametes gibbosa.

Your'e right JP -

1st & 2nd Trametes gibbosa

3rd & 4th, probably the same, but immature.

5th & 6th are Trametes versicolor as suggested Les.
