Is this polypore easy to identify from macrophotos ? Growing on the underside of a fallen plank of wood (unknown origin) in a damp habitat. Pore extremely small (4/mm perhaps).
What about Coniophora arida ?

Sorry Steve,
Coniophora arida has a smooth hymenophore, no pores! I think it is a Ceriporia, but without microscopically features it is difficult to say which species.

OK , I should fetch a sample and try to observe some spores and basidia and see to what I can compare in the book Polyporales by Berrnichia and Gordon. Ceriporia is a good indication - thank you (C. spissa have these colours). I will report further data here for discussion.
Hi Steve,
if it is a Ceriporia, it is not Ceriporia spissa. Ceriporia spissa is not a European species! What was previously determined as this species in the Canary Islands is now Ceriporia triumphalis. The color of the hymenophore and the small pores could be this species.
Greetings

Thank you. I have no diverse opinion on these difficult fungi so I l will label this collection as indicated. I try to collect a sample and compare the spores. I saw C. triumphalis on the internet and concur that it looks very similar. The paper below (describing C. triumphans) gives a further - it has very small spores and the basidiocarp darkens to orange with age. So I guess i have to revisit the site (8 days later) !

Amyloporia xantha in its early stages. Sorry for taking so long to come back on this
