It is i'm afraid, they can be a very tricky group and it's beyond my capabilities. What i really need is a microscope and i would love to be able to id from spores on slides.

Going back to yours on page 109, Hazel. I can confirm that the first fungi is Beefsteak.

Just guessing but I would suspect Birch Polypore for the first and a Ganoderma for the second. Probably G. australe.

Just guessing once again, but my first port of call would be to look at the Beefsteak Fungus for both of these. Fistulina hepatica.

Was it oak, or possibly chestnut?

But that fungus is quite variable as it grows and there are other options so another opinion is required.

Audrey, completely off the topic of fungi. I just noticed your link to your Flickr site so I have been exploring it. To my delight I found your photos of Upper Teesdale where I spent a lot of time in my younger days. I loved that part of the world.

Hi Grayling.

They are likely to be older specimens of Lactarius tabidus.
