Golden Curtain Crust

Stereum ostrea

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.

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 :)

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

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.

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

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_... ).----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/greatl... )/ here the link from the begin to do it yourself: ( http://www.mushroomthejournal.com/greatl... ) . i'm not completly convince that it is "polyporus brumalis", keep further a eye open for local (indonesian) "polyporus" . good luck

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 !! :)

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?

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
achmmad 12 years ago

May be they are both from the same genus, not species. But, thanks Arlanda. I'll try!

arlanda
arlanda 12 years ago

maybe Polyporus tuberaster, but I am no expert on tropical fungi!
