unknown fungi on birch for id please

[mollisia]

Hello,

I have to apology. I have not looked at all the fotos above, but have just notices that there are more then I have seen. Don't know why I haven't noticed them before.
So especially when one looks at the last foto, a very strong developed white subicular mat is to see, which is a good hint to Gloeoporus. Also the colour doesn't seem to be out of the range as I stated above. When salmon colour darkens with age, it might become such a brown,w hich still has a slight rose hue (on my screen). Taken all that into account, and also the host Betula, it is very likely that this is indeed Gloeoporus dichrous, nevertheless I was convinced in the beginning that it is impossible.
Sorry, Ken, I bow to your knowledge!

What concerns Gloeoporus pannocinctus, I don't have changed my mind to find this determination not possible. I show two pictures from an exsiccate here. The colour has become a little more intense then in fresh material, but shown this strange yellowish-olivish-greenish colour of the species quite well. In fresh fruitbodies the pores are often nearly white and only when one look in a certain angle to the pores one notices a slight greenish touch. The abundant subicular mat is nevertheless good to see still in the herbarium specimen.





best regards,
Andreas

I am currently basking in a warm glow of self-righteousness, which doesnt usually happen!
A good result then!
Thanks Andreas.
Cheers
