Magnifiques polypores sur un tronc d'érable dans une érablière a sucre centenaire de la ferme Moore
On base of dead ash tree right by the ground in the oldfield. I had just felled the dead tree when I saw the fungus; that's why there's sawdust all over it.
Close-up photographs in my kitchen
I see this has been re-named Phlebia tremellosa. I should remember that.
Fourth photo shows a small whitish cap at the superior margin of the patch peeled off the wood.
Taste neutral, pleasant scent, rubbery quivery feeling to the fruiting body.
Spore print white. Spores were hard to focus sharply. avg length 4.2 (range 3.3 to 4.4) microns by 1.7; thus, cylindrical. Smooth, clear Many seemed to have an oil drop at each pole. Some were curved like a sausage. This fits with Baroni's description
Mushroom near a stump
