Regarding Laetiporus it is far from fussy, but its fave hosts are Oak, 
Prunus, hawthorn sweetchestnut and of course Yew in which it is one of the 
few big decay fungi, but poplar, ash dont know if it has any wont go there 
hosts, theres even a species in the states of Laetiporus that deals with 
conifers Laetiporus conifericola"


It is also one of the few brown rots of beech, though this is a rare host and 
thus far only found beeches with chicken in very old sites.


I would say definitely dont rule a fungi out simply because a book says only 
on this or that host! many fungi are fairly generalist, but there are also 
many others that do have a taste that is refined to one host type.


Daedalea quercina I have on beech, Oak and sweet chestnut


Perenniporia fraxinea on Oak petrea/robur beech and ash even robinia 
psuedoaccacia


But if you like being surprised by fungi, how about meripilus at height?


They keep you on your toes for life these fungi.

I guess the moral of the tale is don't dismiss a host even if its not in 
the book


thanks Martyn and Jerry

Hi Rupert


I started off with Oxyporous but the descriptions and size did not fit, 
after 

Chris suggestion about Chicken I am favouring that now, just unusual on 
Poplar. 
The FB was about 150mm across and 2m from the ground on a 400mm diameter 
stem.

thanks to all who replied


Andy

It has the look of Oxyporus, but Phillips says the brackets are only 
3-6cm 

across; what scale is the photo/how big was the fruit-body?

Hi


This FB is on a White Poplar about 2m up, any thoughts would be 
appreciated, 

doesn't appear to fit exactly any of the usual suspects Perenniporia or 
Phellinus,

Thanks

Andy
