| | | 1 fungus growing on Ash for identification please
Taken today 14/10/2011. About the only fungus I found today, Mixed woodland Northamptonshire, growing in a groove in an ash tree Fraxinus excelsior. Half of it seems destroyed, but giving it a go, cheers. A Pleurotus maybe?

Not a lot to go one there  Pleurotus is quite possibly right but with that cap I think P dryinus is the likely culprit.

You took the words right out of my mouth Ken ! (re: the above words)
I've just got back from Lowestoft, tuned in to WAB and like to play a little game by just showing enough of the photo before I can see any replies and see if my assumption was right. I too thought P.dryinus.
