| | | Is this young T. versicolor?
Hi
The fungus in the first photo was on partly burnt gorse. Is it a young Trametes versicolor? There was plenty of Trametes versicolor around but most of it looked like the second photo.
Many thanks
Dave

Hi
Has it got tiny pores underneath?
Trametes has pores but Stereum does not.

Thanks for the reply Peter.
This is the best I can do until I go back and have a look again.
The underside looks more like elongated pores, it's certainly not smooth.

Strange one this - I think it is definitely Trametes, but those pores are very large/distorted and surely not because it is on burnt wood.  Trametes multicolor would fit better.
Neil.

I have the same problem attached is my version of T. versicolor also taken today but I had not appreciated how superficially similar it is to Stereum subtomentosum and I also did not check the underside for pores ...  |

If you return, I'm sure you will find it is smooth underneath with no pores.

Neil. | It is also very variable in colour, the attached photo was on the same branch not 2 feet away  |

Neil. | I was going to suggest Trametes ochracea. Little did I know that it's the current name for T.multicolor .
Cheers,
Nick

Thanks Neil and Nick
I knew it wasn't a Stereum. I, like you, thought the pores weren't typical of a T. versicolor in my limited experience they are less pronounced. I have however just found an image of the underside of an "older specimen" that looks similar.
I did look at Trametes ochracea but wasn't certain.

Neil. | Hmm I thought it was a Stereum too, but if you expand the picture, part of one of the brackets has broken and it looks like it has a thin pore layer underneath....or are my eyes playing tricks on me
Cheers,
Nick
