Skeletocutis amorpha possibly? Newbie looking for confirmation.

[pleb]

Hello everyone,

Can anyone confirm this is Skeletocutis amorpha? Growing on old pine trunk on ground. Seems to me to agree with the descriptions and the pores do look like pictures of S. amorpha pores on the web. Located just outside Plymouth in a wooded area which I think was planted to landscape the A38 road.

As usual WAB help will be acknowledged on my blog. Thanks in advance.

This is Heterobasidion annosum- the foresters enemy, simply referred to as 'Fomes' (the genus it was formerly placed in)

Skeletocutis amorpha should be a salmon colour and would never be as thick as shown in your photo.
