New (to me) bracket 5.2.17 Elland




Might be just Turkeytail, but looks different to me; the way it is reaching upwards and convoluted. It  is also beautifully bright and translucent in the sunlight. Found under the powerlines near Cromwell Bottom where the trees are lopped by contractors and the branches left to lie. The fungus was on cut oak branches

  1. Hi Steve,
    This is Hairy Curtain Crust (Stereum hirsutum), one I'm sure you know but it might be looking a bit different here. The Stereums have a smooth undersurface while the Trametes have small pores.

  2. Stereum is right, but I reckon this is S.subtomentosum....

    Cheers,
    Nick
