Skeletocutis nivea sl perhaps

 

This seems a likely candidate because: 

The pores are tiny and very close together, about 7 - 10 per mm. only just visible in the image

the crust is relatively thin, with pores probably less than 2 mm deep

The pores can be found very close to the edge of the hymenium

A very pale colour, only just lightly browning with age

The margins are turning up - just - in this case

So if you didn't look closely, this specimen could perhaps be confused on first view with either Byssomerulius corium or even Stereum rameale?

The correct name could perhaps be Skeletocutis semipileata or nemoralis, depending on which author you follow!

Sweet Chestnut

While looking at the Oriental Chestnut Leaf Galls, I came across upper side mines of Tischeria ekebadella, milky white, with frass ejected so not building up in the mine. 

Calocera and Phlebia

 

Calocera cornea and possibly Calocera viscosa as well

This was growing on one of the logs placed as car park dividers, which I had thought to be Pine rather than a broadleaved such as Beech. Tentatively ID'd as Calocera cornea.

This was growing on a possibly very well decayed Yew log just along the path on the right from the car park to the SE corner of the wood. Tentatively Calocera viscosa.

This is what the "C. viscosa" looked like last year, somewhat more convincing but not much bigger!

Crusts and Jellies by the Parish Boundary

 

Could this just possibly be Scytinostroma?? The general appearance, waxiness, thickness and combination of colours are good I think. Must go back to sniff it!

An older fruiting body I believe.

Hymenochaete rubiginosa almost certainly, although the hymenial surface is a bit lighter than I think it should be..

Exidia truncata, Witches' Butter, said to be found on attached or recently (really??) fallen branches of Oak and sometimes others such as Hazel.

Crusts towards Hookwood - Steccherinum, and Stereum gausapatum

This looks like a sample of Steccherinum ochraceum, sensu latu, mixed in with other crusts (hmm, that's less usual) on a fallen and decaying oak log just by a large kids shelter on the big Yew near the first junction.

This appears to be the young, developing phase. The spines should be 0.5 - 1 mm, almost bumps rather than spines at first, with a salmon colour is fairly characteristic of this stage, but the darker more ochre or orange colours, perhaps with longer spines (or are these different micro-species such as S. bourdotii?), appear later, when the crust may get up to 3 mm thick.  However, I didn't check whether the margins were easily separable from the substrate, so I may have to go back anyway. 

Kibby states that this "species" is widespread and common, particularly in the south, which Hugill and Lucas agree with.   

It was accompanied by a crust of the same colour but apparently very different morphology: Could this perhaps be some fresh but nibbled Junghuhnia (Steccherinum) nitidum? Not absolutely typical.

Beyond the bin-to-corner track, heading into the Birch dominated section, I came across a dead Oak branch which I think was covered in Stereum gausapatum, the Bleeding Oak Crust. However I think I should stick to Stereum sp to be on the safe side!

The good red-brownish colour is fairly indicative, in comparison to the more greyish Stereum rugosum. However the spores really do need measuring. 

Heteroradulum deglubens

 

Firmly located in Auriculariaceae, this genus of about 9 species worldwide is clearly rather unusual for a crust. It does have this very recognisable appearance of pinkish colour with a white slightly frilly edge, developing blunt scattered spines and outgrowths, and a characteristic physical response to rubbing of blushing, as seen here. 

Its the second time I've ever seen this crust, both being in this one week. No doubt many more to come. 

By contrast, Corticium roseum has no white border, is pleated rather than spined or thrown up, and is a more consistent pink, which bleeds somewhat carmine when cut.

Christmas Eve with a few of the standard fungi

 

Byssomerulius corium, commonly known as the netted crust, is a normally resupinate crust with such an interesting structure. Here are a few thoughts. It has an easily separable basidiome, peeling off like an elastoplast, which seems quite strange really, as it is an outgrowth of the mycelium and presumably needs connection and support.    

The central surface tends to become off-white and then gently folded or quite obviously ridged fairly quickly while the margin tends to remain a snowy white and finely fringed. This combination is generally enough to recognise this very common crust. Watch out for the similarly coloured and shaped Basidioradulum radula, the toothed crust, with the more violent disruption of the central surface into teeth up to 5 mm long, and its very close adherence to the substrate.
