Please What Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 I just found this in Stockholm, Sweden. I suppose it's a polypore. The pores are very small and even smaller toward the edges. Wrinkly, almost like gills. Soft, fleshy texture. Found growing on a dead tree of unknown species, among living rowan trees. Smells like button mushrooms. Photos of top, bottom, habitat and a little buddy i left sitting. https://imgshare.io/image/zrW9f https://imgshare.io/image/zrm8g https://imgshare.io/image/zrxkx https://imgshare.io/image/zr9S7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Interesting how what seems to be a poroid hymenium is wrinkled into gill-like folds. I think I have have seen similar examples in genus Picipes. When young, Picipes fruit bodies are composed of somewhat flexible flesh (becomes rigid in age). Growth on wood agrees with this proposal. Picipes badius and P. melanopus are two species. The convex shape of the cap is a bit unusual for Picipes. But this may be because the mushroom is young and the cap has not yet expanded. Not a lot of confidence here, but I think this idea is worth considering. Young fruit bodies of Boletopsis are flexible, but mushrooms in this genus are terrestrial.

I'm not sure if it's appropriate to "bump" this thread only to say thank you for the input. Anyway, thank you for the input. Moderators may feel very free to delete this post!
