Fungi

I thought I'd post an extra image today, as I'm starting to build up a bit of a back-log. Nothing special, just a rather nice looking bit of fungi that I spotted on an old tree stump whilst on a walk.

If anyone is able to identify the fungi.........I'd be grateful. I think it's most likely to be a variety of Bracket Fungus, which is common on old tree stumps.

Edit..........thanks to aNNa, I have an ID which is:Polyporus squamosus, commonly referred to as Dryad's Saddle.

Guess she is right, I am not a big specialist and for mushroom I use an app, which told me the photo couldnt allow it to give a reliable answer. Easier when you already know in which family to search ! Great aNNa did know how to.

I always use my computer to go through images until I spot the one I'm looking for, but fungi change so much as they grow and die off, it's a bit hit and miss as a method..!!

A very attractive and well captured fungi Keith, it is nicely patterned and has lovely colour both of which you have captured perfectly,
I am sure you are correct with bracket fungi but beyond that I am out of ideas. ;-)

The scaly polypore can be eaten young, but its culinary value is classified as rather low. As it ages, it becomes inedible due to its increasingly corky and tough consistency.

I'm afraid I'm not very "au fait" with mushrooms in the wild or should I say "fungi"? This is a lovely version of one.

Thanks Jenny. aNNa has provided me with the correct ID, which I've added to my description.

prachtig keith--volgens mij zitten deze ook op de pizza wat ik vaker eet---schitterend wat wilhelm al zegt--misschien weet je of die eetbaar is

Keith Burton ^club has replied to Fred Fouarge ^club

Thanks Fred. aNNa thinks they're edible when they're young, but not very nice afterwards, so I doubt you'd get these on pizza.

She does! I wouldn't eat any fungi I found in the wild.........but definitely worth photographing them.

A great photo with perfect detail! I wouldn't have known what fungus it is but I certainly wouldn't have picked it for eating;-)

Keith Burton ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

Glad you like the photo Gudrun..........and I think you're very wise not to eat wild fungi.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

There are a few I know like ceps and chanterelles, but they get picked by professionals and you rarely get a chance,-)

La photo est trés intéréssante mais je ne sais pas l'identifier. Je sais que certains de ces champignons d'arbres sont comestibles voire trés bons. Personnellement je n'y touche pas car je ne les connais pas assez

Keith Burton ^club

I'm glad you find it interesting Jean Paul..............fungi are often very difficult to identify because they change so much over their lifespan. I wouldn't eat any fungi I saw growing wild :-)
