Polyporus ? & a Armillaria

[kiff]

Hi All

found this Armillaria thats killing the Oaks also what are the tiny black balls in the photo


and all so found what I think is some sort of Polyporus


both found in Great Breach Wood Somerset 20/03/2009

Considering the time of year, colour of your image
Polyporus brumalis is a likely candidate.

Cheers J.P.

hi

PM me and send me some and I might well be able to tell you . I'm afraid there are a lot of pyrenomycetes that look like this in the field . . . I could throw out some possible names, but I think that might imply a false accuracy, as it could easily be something else again

sorry

Chris
