Fungi of beechwood: The Lumpy Bracket (Trametes gibbose) growing on live beech tree (Fagus sylvatica). It was quite high up and this is the best top view I could manage. I noticed it during my last visit to the woods couple weeks before but didn’t have time to stop and get a closer look. Lansdown, Bath, BANES, England, U.K.

I try to give ID where possible but often it is not an easy task in the world of fungi without special examination, and I am not a mycologist. So, if you feel that ID is incorrect, please do correct.

Screw through the bracket, 3/4 inch frame or 19mm square frame.

I like the colours, textures and variety of tree brackets

Thank you all who fave and comment on my photo'/video's,much appreciated.And thank you all for looking.

The Great Bastion is a five-storey bastion with a semicircular plan. Its weight extends over the space of the parkland into the moat. A wooden ochodza was built on the side away from the town, on the level of which stone brackets have been preserved. It is connected to the Red Bastion by a castle wall.

Red (Royal) Bastion is a three-storey bastion with a semicircular ground plan decorated with red squaring. It is open on the side away from the town. It strengthened the defence of the Lower Gate. Under the upper cornice, on the outer shell, the remains of the coat of arms of the town and the coat of arms of Hungary are preserved, which were painted in 1597 by the then richtár Leonard Glatz.

Bitter Bracket - Postia stiptica Lower (fertile) surface with tubes and pores; watery droplets are exuded mainly from margin region and from the pores. Very bitter taste. It may turn ochre-brown when old. Usually on felled trunks and large fallen branches of conifers; very occasionally on the timber of hardwood trees.

Couple of days back I came across this tall tree covered with lots of bracket fungi. Interesting!!! This is only a portion of the tree. Recommend large view.

Many thanks to all those who view, fav or comment my pictures. I very much appreciate it.

Was glad to finally be able to photograph these signals in clouds, as under normal operating times, this shot would be completely backlit,

Bracket fungus on dead Ash

On a log on the trial to Pam's Grotto

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

The appropriately named “Scarlet Bracket” Pycnoporus coccineus (garden fungi) is one of the most common and colourful brackets that can be found even in dry weather growing on sticks and wood. Orange scarlet in colour, these fan shaped, firm bracket mushrooms attach themselves along the straight edge to wood. Their size is very variable. Juveniles are a lovely scarlet colour; the underside is a deeper colour and consists of fine pores. As this fungus ages, the bracket gets larger. The surface colour also tends to fade with age and exposure to strong sunlight – in fact some old specimens are bleached to white, but usually the pores retain some colour.

The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 23rd of October is “mushrooms”. On one of my walks a few months ago when the weather had begun to change from winter to warmer spring, I chanced across these Scarlet Bracket mushrooms attached to the dead branch of an old prunus tree which had been heavily pruned. I was only photographing the prunus blooms and then I noticed this colourful survivor clinging to a branch. I was so taken with the colour in contrast to the pink of the blossom, the grey of the wood and azure sky that I decided to take a photograph of it. Now I’m glad I did, as I feel that it is perfect for this week’s theme. I do hope that you like my choice, and that it makes you smile.

Blushing Bracket (Daedaleopsis confragosa)

View from underneath showing the pores. Not sure of the ID of this species? See photo (1) also. Spotted at the JFK Arboretum.

Part of a bracket fungus (I think) growing out, in the vicinity of a large tree that we had to have taken down a few years ago. Apparently there's still tree material down there in the soil. This was about as large as a plate. I like the colors.

This is probably Ganoderma.

Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great artist?

NS 127 is southbound on Nº2 Track by Spring at Atlanta, Georgia with CBFX SD60M 6023 followed by a NS C44-9W and LTEX SD60M in October 2018.

A St Joe local works west past the bracket at Riverside about four miles west of Cincy.

As seen Nov. 1st.

Relocated this Nov. 13 and its striking white edge was dark

The wood it is on is only 3.5 - 4" in diameter.

The birch polypore only grows on Birch trees. This leathery bracket fungus has a rounded, coffee-coloured cap. This particular specimen was approximately 30cm across

Another of the cooperative subjects at Red Moss Nature Reserve. Fortunate to get a series of bracketed images before it flew off. This is 30 images focus bracketed in camera then focus stacked in Helicon Focus Pro.

I think this might be "Chicken of the Woods" one of several edible species of Laetiporus fungus. Visible from a public footpath in Nottinghamshire. The fungus and tree it is infecting stand on private land, so even if I was confident about my identification and its conservations status (which I'm not!) I would still leave it well alone!

This is a bracket fungus growing on a large Ash tree and it's the 2nd year that I've noticed it.

In it's early stages it's an acidic yellow gelatinous ball shape oozing liquid.

I've tried to identify it and it would appear to be a Shaggy Bracket, or Ionotus hispidus (source: www.first-nature.com/fungi/inonotus-hispidus.php)

It's described as a bracket fungus that is found mostly on Ash and Apple and leads to white rot decay in the tree.

Some exceptional medicinal benefits though are attributed to this mushroom as a remedy to cancer, diabetes and stomach ailments and the lowering of blood glucose levels.

If anyone can confirm this identification I'd be very grateful.
