Bracket Fungi for ID Please.

Lancashire Lad · #1 (**permalink**) 31-12-2008, 08:16 PM

These have been languishing on my PC for about two months under the provisional ID of Trametes versicolor, but I'm not entirely convinced that's correct. Could anyone confirm please, or suggest alternative ID's.

The largest individual brackets were no more than 50mm wide.

Again, largest individual brackets about 50mm wide, but slightly thicker.

Regards
Mke.

I stand to be corrected leifus, but I thought that B. adusta was more of a solid colour, predominantly whitish, (though darkening with age), and not concentrically banded like these.

I found one like this and it was just very wet. Maybe this could be the reason?

After all that I should've just left it with my original guess.

Sorry to break up the wonderful friendship that has developed between you two but I think the photo Bracket1 is Trametes but Bracket 2a/b is another species

Thanks Mal,

From some trawling i've done today I would agree, and I am tending towards older Bjerkandera adusta for the other, as Leifus originally suggested.

Regards
Mike.
