Field Notes

Notes:

Found at the rubber plantation floor. They are two form of carp in different location, see pics 2nd and 3rd. 4th picture added at Feb 20 2012, and now I've measured the size. Actually they are about 5-6 cm, and the largest one is about 12 cm, but only in the edge of the wood. The color actually reduced after 10 days from the first time I spotted.

Hm, thank Clive. I'll take a look into local field guide, but I'm still haven't found it.
achmmad
Thank you very much Lars! Much time to identify the exact name. Congrats you've found the species ID. And also KarenL, I think its different due to their size. This one just about 5-6 cm :)

Looks exactly like a spotting of mine! http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8519054

I'm not sure at all, two weeks may be.

I've check it at 8.45 pm, but now you can't see the beautiful ring structure. It has been to old, only yellow color, sorry :(

I don't bring my camera today :( can you let me know where exactly it is? I'm going to 'ngalap' this Sunday
achmmad
Rubber plantation behind 'Dekanat'. Tomorrow I'll going to spot it again, more than welcome if you'll spot it too, Mars :)

Alex, i was thnking about a larger type of Stereum - you think it's possible? Look at the concetric layers of the cap's to...this is typical for Stereum growth
achmmad
Yep, probably it is hard to find the ID. I'm not get a bit little about mushroom, :) see ya! with good news that you've found the ID, off course.
AlexKonig
no problem you're welcome. Expert-patch is far away, i'm happy with fanatic mycologist or specialist. As said, keep an eye open, because the p. brumalis suggestion keeps me a chilling feeling. (not convinced, therefore no direct id-suggestion. but thanks
achmmad
Wow! You're really an expert. Yes, this may be need identification book or herbaria, lol :) Btw, thanks so much AlexKonig for your help!

till now i canot find any id-key for asian/indonesian (or at least european) genus polyporus. (fam polyporaceae). just american-keys till now ( http://www.mushroomexpert.com/polypores_stemmed_pale.html ).----let's go the way: 1-fam: polyporaceae ; stemmed polypore= polyporus. 2-genus: polyporus ; no blackfoot = 2 choices left. 3-polyporus ; Polyporus arcularius or brumalis --> no delicate hairs = brumalis ( http://www.mushroomthejournal.com/greatlakesdata/Taxa/Polypbruma287.html#Main )/ here the link from the begin to do it yourself: ( http://www.mushroomthejournal.com/greatlakesdata/Taxa/PolypGenus130.html ) . i'm not completly convince that it is "polyporus brumalis", keep further a eye open for local (indonesian) "polyporus" . good luck
achmmad
Thanks Alex! hope you can find it :)
AlexKonig
those polyporaceae's which are common for me are Polyporus- badius and brumalis, take a look. I will look now for another possibility!! patience a little while !! :)
achmmad
Thanks Alex! May be yes, but I don't see that species on my pics has tuber like structure? does it just an effect of different life stage?
AlexKonig
arlanda got the right direction, they are polyporus, they maybe are tuberaster (is a good suggestion) and devinitly are they both the same species. nice btw
achmmad
May be they are both from the same genus, not species. But, thanks Arlanda. I'll try!
arlanda
maybe Polyporus tuberaster, but I am no expert on tropical fungi!
achmmad
I agree, but I have no idea about the name. Thanks!
