HI Two found on unidentifiable dead wood the polypore looking specimen on silver birch Maybe Dichomitis? all in deciduos woodland N/hampshire
kind regards mike

Hi Mike,

The first is (the asexual state of) Ascocoryne sarcoides

I'm unconvinced with Dichomitis for the second, which usually has a distinct black line around the base. I think I can make out an 'upper surface' on the right, so I wonder if this is a common Polypore (e.g Trametes sp.?) which has changed orientation (perhaps because someone has moved the branch?). Sometimes polypores go a bit crazy when they can't work out which way is 'up'....

The gills in the third photo certainly look free from the stem so I reckon it should be Pluteus cervinus....

Cheers,
Nick

Many thanks Nick, I was if I am to be honest being optimistic with the Dichomitis I have been on a roll of late finding Heicium Cirrhatum and Antrodia carbonica locally N?Hampshire its been a good season so far
kind regards Mike

I've never even heard of Antrodia carbonica! I'll have to keep an eye out for it.....

Dichomitis is fairly common around here and seems to appear most often on Hazel branches in winter.

Cheers,
Nick

I don't suppose that's the "unknown" Antrodia species that's been bumbling about Hampshire recently? Last time I checked (2014ish) it was still unidentified and potentially a new species. I recall there was something that turned blue (spores?) under the microscope.
