Polyporus brumalis

[ashgale]

we spent a couple of wet hours at Budby this morning, where eveything looked grey and miserable,
but in an area where lots of Birches had been felled a couple of years ago, we found lots of Polyporus brumalis on the trunks that had been left to rot on the ground,
most were still only very small, but we counted at least 60 of them in one small area ! so it was worth getting a bit wet

thats a strange looking one the sheer volume of different fungi there is out there never ceases to amaze me, each time i visit this forum, someone has posted another one i never new existed its been a real eye opener for me i must say, i just wish that i had taken more notice of them in my younger days

Nice find Ashgale, I have yet to see any yet but they usually turn up late

Nice find Ashgale, I have yet to see any yet but they usually turn up late

most years i hardly see any at all, but this year is something of an exception for me,
the majority of the ones seen were very small ones , so probably lots of bigger ones to be found later on

just three small ones, but well worth it
