Kretzschmaria deusta

Sycamore Tree
This tree was spotted early this year near Bishops Waltham, Hampshire. I only took the pictures because of the fresh immature fungi stage otherwise would not of bothered as I think this page has plenty of mature fungi pictures! The lowest picture shows a close up of part of the new fungi (in contrast to the black mature bodies), I have trimmed this picture to save web memory.
The Sycamore is in a bit of a state with one stem dead and the other with significant areas of dead bark. I'm unsure as to whether 'Sooty Bark Disease' is also present, I think it may just be dead bark, although I have, in the past, seen similar sized stems killed by 'Sooty'.
