Tree Fungi ID Please

[R0B]

Hi

The bark on my magnolia tree split about 4 years ago but seemed until about a month ago this orange fungi has appeared in the splits, the tree seams still be alive and has buds as usual

Any info would be much appreciated

Hi ROB and welcome to WAB please read: Help us to help you identify fungi

I would have a stab at Velvet Shank (Flammulina velutipes), a close up of an individual showing cap, gills and stem and maybe a spore print may help bring a definitive identification.

Hi Rob, welcome, and good advice from John.
He's quite right by the way.
Cheers

Or at least it is dying.
I haven't checked the National Database yet, but it may be the case that Magnolia may be a new host for Velvet Shank.
