Drumboe Wood, including a previously unexplored area.
Foggy and cold. |
There are two dead Elder trees side by side. They are covered in Jew's-Ear - Auricularia auricula-judae. The books say "on dead branches of dying trees". These trees have been dead for years. |
The two trees also had large clusters of these small cream bracket fungi. Each individual specimen is about 1 cm. across. Perhaps Bjerkandera adusta.
|
To the west of the wood there is a row of youngish conifers, including Larch. The Larch trees appear to be a particular favourite of Evernia prunastri. |
Most of the Beech trees in Drumboe appear to have this black fungus - Ascodichaena rugosa - on them. |
