This bracket - at Newt Corner, now examined in detail, is Blushing Bracket Daedaleopsis confragosa tricolor

Many thanks Alison and Steve for sorting this.
The pores are gill like. Seems a mix of the two?
The spore print produced white spores overnight
Hi Bruce,is this at the newt compound at North Loop? Presumably not viewable by the general public.

ReplyDeleteI hope you agree with the I.D.
Hi Bruce, the brackets I found, next to the ear fungi, were on Goat Willow. According to my scant resources Conifer Mazegill is only found on conifers.Also when I steadied myself on the trunk to photograph them the whole thing gave way and crashed in to the lagoon - brackets flying everwhere. I think I may have wrecked your find - sorry :-(
ReplyDeleteHi Charlie
ReplyDeleteThere are more over the narrow channel anyway.
They are found on pine and dead wood (whatever that means.)
Did you get a sample?
No.I find brackets too confusing, I never seem to come up with a definite result.I'll just have travel round twitching other people's finds (trying not to destroy them in the process!)
ReplyDeleteI think you may be correct, or it could be Blushing Bracket. Looking at images on the web, the two look very similar!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alison. Blushing Bracket Daedaleopsis confragosa looks the likely candidate as it is on Willow. The underside did bruise brown as well. I think that is what it should be recorded as.
ReplyDeleteThere are two forms of Blushing bracket according to Jordan, 1995. This one he tacks "var. tricolor" on the end of the other two names (Daedaleopsis confragosa). His photos show the type species coloured ochraceous ( yellowish-buff ) and var. tricolor as "reddish, tinged vinaceous to dark or blackish-red ..."
ReplyDeleteHe states it to be infrequent, unlike the type, which he says is frequent. He also says it favours willow, (the type) but beech, hazel and cherry (this variety.) So well done Bruce for getting the picture and the record. It's better than the picture in Jordan.
And well done Alison for tracking it down.
ReplyDeleteAnd a big "oops" to Charlie, tee hee!
