Hi Pete, what are your views on the brackets, now they have developed a little more?

is your two quid looking a safe bet?

the caps on the orange ones are very simy and sticky, i found another group of very similar ones on a pile of woodchips in another part of the wood, not sure if its the same species or not??(pic 3)
pictures taken this morning.

regarding picture 3 above, i'm pretty sure now, that it's not the same species as the orange one, as i kept a few of the fungi on woodchips in a tray,and they are continuing to grow, and are developing the characteristic olive coloured gills of Hypholoma fasciculare, the cap colour has faded to a more dingy yellow brown colour and are not the bright orange colour as the others,

I am thinking heterobasidion annosum for the number /2

I agree with you on the sulphur tuft /3 but it looks a bit of an old one and hard to be sure

Hi KT, Jordans book has Heterobasidion annosum as being found in conifers, but this was on an oak(i think) stump,
i think yet another visit in a few days is in order here!

the Sulphur tuft are actually very young ones, i think the keen frost of the night before gave them the "seen better days" appearance ( the woodchips were still frozen together)

Developing brackets can sure leave us in a uncertain state.

Having said that i think i can see a pale spore bearing under surface, the
attachment in the most develped ones looks quite thick compared with the
fruit body which appears to be thinning as it fans out, the lower ones look
to be developing darker banding patterns, at the moment i wouldn't be
suprised if these turn out to be Trametes versicolor.

It's always good to see species through development as the books only show
one snapshot in time, so some future images will be a learning aid to us all.

Cheers J.P.

the lower left ones certainly do bear a resemblance to Trametes versicolor, it's just that they seemed to be thicker than usual at the base that is different to other T. versicolor in the same area,(lots of them!!)
i will keep a watch on these as they develop and post the results on here, there have been a few different suggestions on what they might be, so it will be very interesting to see the adult fungi,

thanks,
Brian.
