The Great Outdoors Asked by eternalNoob on October 22, 2021
Once again found a fungi growing on birch and I’m not entirely sure what it is. It looks quite like the chaga fungi but I’m really not too sure! I have seen chaga in some videos before and it seemed much darker but I don’t know anything else it might be. The log was on the ground and quite damp.
Yes it is in lowland scotland, the same general area as my previous question! I had a look around to see what else I could find and this is what I found. It wasn’t the same tree, maybe about 40 meters from that one.
Chaga is parasitic and grows exclusively on living trees.
The tree you have pictured appears to be rotting. Additionally, the mushrooms on that tree have a clear top and bottom. Although the coloration is similar, the picture above does not appear to be Chaga.
I will, however, do some research to see if I can find what fungus in fact is growing.
