  1. I don't recognise it from the photo, but I was in Sunny Vale today, looking for amphibians. (Didn't find any.)

    It's an unusual bluish colour. The tree looks like a Poplar, is that right? It could help with the id.

  2. Yes, the species of tree would help. It looks a bit like willow bark, a suggestion is Willow Bracket (Phellinus igniarius)??

  4. Sorry, Fran.
    If you want to give me directions I can pop over and look at it.
    Also I am thinking of running a tree identification course starting this summer. Would you be interested?
    Then we are having a talk by a tree specialist called Bel Hale on October 8th at our monthly indoor meeting, to which non-members are always welcome.
    Thanks for your post.
