I can't be 100% sure Sue but it looks very much like Birch Polypore Piptoporus betulinus

That is a tricky one Paula as the stem and cap would be required but i might be able to get it down to family type.

Oh that's a shame, it's partially submerged in slush here. (In Kentish woodland)

It looks more like pores than gills on the underside Paula so i'll check on that aspect first.

From the shape of the pores it could be a Suillus species ???

Could be an upside down mushroom.... possibly...... a newish emerging Morel which would fit into the season as these emerge the same time as Scarlet elf caps and Jews Ears.

Not that any of these have appeared in my neck of the woods despite me frantically searching in the usual places!

It certainly looks like the upturned cap of a Boletus of some sort Jan. That is what made me say Suillus Sp. from the shape of the pores and the colour. Though it could also be one of the bracket fungi that has fallen off and landed upside down. A bit more investigation needed :grin:

:hey: Dave, a query from my friends at the River Chess Association. Do you happen to know what this fungus is please?

1. I asked if they know what wood it is growing on and they aren't altogether sure but it could be Lime (seems appropriate, considering the colour of the fungus :rofl: )

2. They did comment that the green might be due to algae.

Looking at the concentric circles on the top of the polyporales Gill it could be a Trametes type. T. gibbosa has a green upper surface which can be due to algae growth but i think it would need examination of the underside. There are other possibilities as well. Is it possible to find out what type of wood it is growing on Gill?

:hello1: Dave, I did ask about the wood and they weren't sure but said it was possible it was Lime.

:thanks1: Gill

They are mostly found on beech but can be found on other hardwoods as well. My first reaction is still T.gibbosa but i can get another opinion to be 100% sure.
