Tremella foliacea is another one which is labelled as being rare in my book, Dave, which is why I was rather uncertain about that possible answer.

I have added a photo of what I think is Stereum hirsutum to my Botanical Subjects thread. It was growing close to the Tremella.

I have found the guides can vary so much Geoff in terms of geographical distribution and scarcity, i have found some fungi that is listed as rare in the Rogers guide and occasional in the Michael Jordan publication, also listed as uncommon to seldom recorded in the Collins guide, uncommon to seldom recorded to me could mean absolutely anything. I agree with your hesitancy though and always best to err on the side of caution.

Over the years i have recorded many rare species, as listed in various guides, but have found some to be locally common at under recorded sites, Pluteus aurantiorugosus being one such fungi and it was quite numerous at a few sites in Norfolk.

Forgot to say that the last fungi id request you posted Geoff was an aged Steccherinum ochraceum, it has blunt spines on the underside as opposed to pores.

So that is another uncommon species, Dave. I can't even find it in my book so had to do an internet search for information. Although a southern UK species there are few records for Devon. More frequent in Europe and parts of America.

No wonder I was struggling to identify it!

Indeed, no doubting that it is an excellent find Geoff. I did have a little help from a fungi expert i know as i managed to get it down to a toothed fungus but couldn't quite tie it down further because of it's aged state.

Steccherinum ochraceum could also go on the fungi challenge, Geoff.

Number 3 on the previous page Hazel might be a Peniophora type but i doubt i can narrow it down any further.

I am not sure if numbers 3 and 4 are the same type of fungi but it just looks like one is reddish in the middle and the other on the outer edge which has made me put them separately. I found both of them on the bottom of oak trees.
