Ischnoderma benzoinum perhaps and Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa at Dene Park

 

A bit confused by these brackets: on one of the pine logs used as a car park divider at Dene Park, near Tonbridge. Pores about 3/mm but with no sign of mazegill structure, brackets relatively thin and sharp-edged, pores 5 mm long or less, mid-brown flesh, cap dark brown feeling a bit felty, with clearly obvious but thin whitish edge. No sign of yellowish colours. Creamy pore surface only gradually darkens to a tan brown when collected, does not quickly bruise.





The Coral Slime Mould Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa found on a fallen possibly hornbeam trunk of really well rotted wood looked amazing. 



The whiter outer surface is said to be fluffier as it is covered in the spores being released.
