      Help with this would be appreciated

      In mixed woodland – South Lancashire

      Growing at base of stump which I think is leylandii – didn’t check at the time, there were a lot of leylandii around and looks like it from the photo

      Fruiting body approx 10 x10cm

      The piece which I took back to examine is approx 3cm

      The underside is spiny – spines 1-2mm

      Feels soft to the touch

      Colour off-white interspersed with blue

      Cheers,

      Phil

        I think this is likely to be Postia caesia. The pores can take on a lacerate or “spiny” look but in the middle of the second photo you can see the pores.
