Hello

Today I found this crust fungus with clear ‘teeth’ growing on the trunk of a young Hazel tree. It’s not included in Phillips so I did a quick online search where it appears to match Irpex lacteus, however this does not appear to be common in the UK judging by the number of records on the NBN Gateway. Can anyone suggest a more likely alternative or perhaps even confirm this to be I. lacteus?

Thanks

Hello James

my money would be on Schizopora paradoxa which can look exactly like this. Compare with some online images, e.g. ~~https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drewniczka_r%C3%B3%C5%BCnopora#/media/File:Schizopora_paradoxa_a1_(6).JPG” class=”bbcode_url”>~~https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drewniczka_r%C3%B3%C5%BCnopora#/media/File:Schizopora_paradoxa_a1_(6).JPG.

best wishes

Chris
