Unknown bracket

[flaxton]

Having had a go at KT on more than one occasion for not showing the information he knows we need here is one for identification without the pore details. Unfortunately the battery gave out and by the time I had checked for the spare I forgot to even look so cannot give any other details.

I know where it is so if there is no definitive id I can go back and look.

Thanks

Could it be Fomes? I see it's on Betula and it's got the 'age rings', but not the usual 'hoof' structure.

looks very much like this Daedaleopsis confragosa i found last year,

i found quite a few with this marked zoning on them,as well as the more usual types.

Duh!

I think Brian's nailed it

Fomes LOL

Hallo,

I prefer Nick's first version. To me it looks like Fomes, not like Daedaleopsis.

Hi Nick,

very sorry about that!

The fruitbodies don't look flat enough for me for Daedaleopsis and also the "rings" seem to be somewhat more pronounced then I know it for Daedaleopsis. And last argument is the surface, which looks a bit lacquered whereas it should be totaly dull in Daedaleopsis.

Hoping that some more thoughts come to this foto.

bestr egards,

Ischnoderma benzoinum might be an option. just google it in images.

Anyway I tried my best to get a pore shot of that Rigidiporus - it was in the middle of a car park full of people and cars and it was surrounded by branches and it was pretty low down. I didn't really fancy lying down in the ice in the middle of a car park

[NickCantle]

Does Ischnoderma benzoinum grow on Betula?

I'll shut up now
