Phlebia species for id please

kiltoncomp · #1 (**permalink**) 09-01-2009, 10:46 AM

a couple of Phlebia sp for id(at least i think they are bothe Phlebia)

no1- is this radiata or tremellosa? i can never tell which is which,there were about 30+ growing on a fallen pine/fir tree

no2 - not sure if this is a Phlebia sp at all, but it seems to fit with Phlebia cornea in Michael Jordans book, or is it just wishful thinking? growing on stump of a felled pine/fir tree

Hallo,

I don't recognize either of the two in picture 1, becuase for radiata/merismoides it is not orange enogh to me and for Meruliopsis tremellosus the cap edges are missing to me.
But as I'm not too familiar with these, this remarks are not much of a help for you. I just posted anyway because of the second picture, because I have learned from my aphhylophorales teacher, that Phlebia cornea is better regarded a nomen dubium, because there exist several interpretations of this species. The Phlebia cornea in Fungi of Switzerland e.g. is a Hyphoderma, probably Hyphoderma praetermissum.

best regards,
Andreas

young chondostereum purpureum. I have found that they usually discolour the colour in the photo when they start decomposing - maybe because of the cold . It certainly looks like a Silverleaf fungus near me that has done this

I think Chondostereum is an exceedingly good call for number one KT. The colour is there isn't it?

PS- never worked out if it's Chondostereum or Chondrostereum

thats an interesting call KT ,there is another log nearby with chondrostereum growing on it that i have been looking at over the last few weeks,its gone through a few changes,but still looks nothing like this one, i will have to keep this one under scrutiny and see if it changes anymore,
the chondrostereum does seem to grow in groups like this one does,

this is another pic of more of the same fungi on the log,dont know if it will help further with the id or not,

Hi,

I don't think that it can be a Phlebia or an Chondrostereum when looking at this pic, because your fungus has pores! I strongly think that this one is Skeletocutis amorpha. But then the host should have been wood of Pinus.

best regards,
Andreas

Was this found at Clumber Brian? I'd like to have a closer look if it was.

Hello John, yes they were both found in Clumber,
if its the second one you are interested in, im not to sure where exactly it was, so will have to try and refind it,(dog walking at the time, so not paying to much attention to where we were

the first one is okay though, not to far from the barbecue area,

Brian.
