34. Stereum ochraceoflavum

2/14/2014

Once again, a common and seemingly distinctive species on Leaning Oaks proved to be a more challenging identification exercise than anticipated! This beautifully coloured fungus is found on dead branches of the Garry Oak. These specimens were on branches that had broken off on the ground. 

Most references to this species indicates no accepted English name with one exception that used "Crowded Parchment" which seems aptly descriptive. Dave suggested "Ochraceous False Turkey Tail".   I thought maybe "Ochraceous Ruffled False Turkey Tail". That may be a tad long! Any other suggestions?

Identification was done via the "Trial Key to STEREUM in the Pacific Northwest"  http://www.svims.ca/council/Stereu.htm#nSpe
