ID this fungus and cause.

Ekka · 3rd February 2007, 08:09 PM

Lonsdale street Ascot - Hamilton, posh suburbs, nothing under $1million there. A few of these around.

Tree is a poinciana (Delonix regina), I think fungi is ganoderma.

Sean Freeman · 3rd February 2007, 08:44 PM

It sure looks like Ganoderma applanatum, we've heaps of it up here gets into just about everything eventually. Mt Cootha will do a full id for your client if you wanted..not sure of $$

My guess the cause is root damage from street work giving the fungi entrance pathways.

mdvaden · 7th February 2007, 11:01 PM

Don't those grow bigger with age?

Someone leaving them alone?

Or are they younger than they look?

Cool looking fungi.

This is a half dead wattle leaning over the street and service wires.

Check out the shroom.

Phelinus robusta on the wattle?

Great links Ekka, trying to get definative id on any fungi is very hard, best we can ganerally do is the family and genus. If you are lucky enough to live in a big city you'll have mycologists at the Uni or research establishments, like Arb people they tend to be obsessive and rarely meet others who share their passion.

We have lots in common they can be really helpful to us and we can often provide them with data they would never get...given the number of times we encounter trees (living and dead) with numerous species of fungi on and in them.

Ekka...

You've seen my fungi photo collection haven't you?

http://www.mdvaden.com/album_OregonFungi.shtml

I'm still figuring out names of some of them.

Here's one site I like to visit every now and then...

http://www.fs.fed.us/pnw/mycology

I suppose their team might have some fun adventures researching fungi in the woods.

Ekka · 11th February 2007, 09:44 PM

That's an excellent collection you got there.

But I think #1 and #51; #82 and #84 ; #5 and #69; #43 and #44 are same, hmmm trouble with having lil kids is ya play snap a lot. lol

And #61 looks like this Phelinus chap on the wattle in the post above.

Hey, check out this guy I took a pic of today, was growing on/next to a paperbark.

Sean Freeman · 12th February 2007, 02:54 AM

Looks like one of the Amanita genus to me, almost 90% of the fungi we see in Qld with mushroom like fruiting bodoes are mycorrhizal, and the ones that aren't are pretty easy to pick; Amillaria being the obvious stand out. Nice photo

mdvaden · 12th February 2007, 08:23 AM

Nice fat one.

Mushroom photos look very nice with tree bark in the background.

Whereabouts of the mushrooms in my album

Most were from the coast range in north Oregon along highway twenty six, to Seaside area, and Ecola State Park. Some from the redwood forest.

But if you mean my whereabouts - one foot in southern Oregon, and the other in Washington County on Portland's west side.

I lived in Beaverton for over forty years, with just a quick eight month experimental move to Savannah Georgia with my family. Then we came back to Beaverton. Two years ago, we moved to southern Oregon near Medford. Jacksonville address, but just eight miles up and down the hill, in Applegate Valley:

http://www.mdvaden.com/applegate_valley.shtml

We moved here thinking I'd do easier work. Six weeks of sales made me hurt three times worse, so I started business again, but need a big metro area for my niche. Also, we are too acclimated to the moister weather up north and the culture.

So our house is on the market, and we want to move back to Beaverton, but hopefully Hillsboro next to it, since its closer to the ocean.

Thanx for the reply M.D. Vaden. Darn proud to know ya,kinda.Allways nice to hear a voice from home. Type at ya later. James.

I went to assess some trees today for the local auth, on the under side of all lower the limbs up to 20 feet, mature aesculus hippocastanum, mature acer pseudoplatanus and a mature quercus petraea this fungus was all over them, it is 4to 5mm across, the area underneath is a foot path 2m wide,then a waterway 3.5 meters wide shallow free running water then a road, any ideas?

Galbee · 1st August 2008, 02:09 PM
