Wot Fungus?

[Rod]

Hi All,

Anyone got any ideas what type(s) of fungus will grow on a dead horse chestnut bough. It's bracket shaped - sorry no pic

Any help is appreciated

Can you be a LITTLE more specific. ie: colour, gilled/pored, large/small...you know, just the basics

Stovie - thought you'd get it straight off ...

Small 8-15 cms at the moment. Pores. Bracket fungus. Cappucino to dark brown in colour. Will try for pics on the way to work tomorrow.

Patience

Could well be artist's conk - ganoderma applanata

or ganoderma adspersum

or another ganoderma

What about Dryad's Saddle?

(Polyporus Squamosus)

or Polyporous Badius ?

It's a bit late in the season for them, but this year's been all over the place
