Help with bracket from September

[NickCantle]

This one has been bugging me since September- when I found it, I though it was probably Laetiporus sulphureus but looking back at it, I think it's probably something else. Something else due to the 'hepatic' staining on it, the size of it and the way it was growing on quite a small stick.

I honestly have nothing to say about it apart from that it was about 100mm in length and less than half that in width. It was growing on what I think was a small Beech stick.





I appreciate that due to the serious lack of information, I may not even get a genus, but it's worth throwing it in the WAB mix to see what people make of it.

All comments and suggestions appreciated,

Nick

If you had been watching recent postings you might have seen discussions about Hapalopilus rutilans Try that.

It was a previous image of Hapalopilus rutilans taken by Nettlerunner Les that made me think of it. Just looked on t'web and it looks good!

What's the distribution status may I ask?

Thanks Mal

EDIT; Just checked in Phillips and the current synonym is Hapalopilus nidulans - Listed as 'occasional'.

Nick, while looking through my copy of Jordans in search of an id for a bracket,
i saw the picture of Phellinus pomaceus (p114) and remembered you had posted a id request for similar looking one to it ,
i dont know if its anywhere near to yours, but probably worth a look at,

Brian.
