| | | Help with identification please?
Hi. Can anybody help please. We recently found a singular fungus in Derbyshire Peak District, quite unlike anything in Phillips's 'Fungi' or any other book I have. Growing on a single deciduous stump in established riverside woodland were a dozen or so fungi. Perhaps averaging 10-12cm high with a bulbous base say 5cm diameter. Erect cylindrical fruiting body 2-3cm dia with a flat circular top, which most resembles the top of an old-fashioned milk bottle. Colour is reminescent of a puff-ball, buff-white with irregular darker scales. At least one fruiting body posessed two such erections.
I am no fungi expert, but know the common species, and are completely bafelled. I have half a dozen photos and can mail these on request to anybody. Any advice on the identification would be most walmly appreciated.
Many thanks

Arthur. | Hi Arthur and welcome to WAB
Your description and time of year could suggest a young Dryad's Saddle - Polyporus squamosus.
Did it look like this?
