ID Request Please - Way Up in a Tree
    #28619660 - 01/13/24 11:36 AM (14 days, 22 hours ago)

My first post here; please excuse me if I don't quite get the etiquette correct.

Background: I own a woodlot in Michigan (Zone 6); I cut down a large white oak that had been standing dead for several years.  As I was bucking the top into firewood I found a few small clusters of mushrooms near the top of the tree - I paced it off and these were about 78 feet up from the base with the tree probably 100-110' tall in its prime.  The cambium layer and sap wood was covered in mycelium at the 70-80' level but there was no mycelium evident at the base of the tree.  Curious to know if this mycelium grew throughout the sap layer from the base up to that height or if spores were blown or deposited at that height.

Habitat:  High up in a standing dead white oak

Gills: Tan, branching

Stem: Off white, slender, brunching

Cap: Off white, scaly

Spore print color: Could not get a spore print.

Bruising: No bruising noticed but the specimen was pretty small and somewhat dried out when picked.

Other information: No noticeable scent

My only ID resource is 'Mushrooms of the Upper Midwest', using this my guess is Hypholoma (?)

I don’t think they are Hypholoma.

Unfortunately I don’t have any confident suggestions as to what they are. My initial thoughts were Schizophyllum, but they would be unusual for Schizophyllum and are unlikely to be that.

I feel like whatever it is, it’s a bit of an abnormal growth pattern.

I want to say it’s an old Hohenbuhelia species, but I don’t think that I’m right.

Panellus stipticus

Wow - very interesting, thanks for the information.  If Panellus stipticus is native to this area then I can assume the mycelium will survive the winter on the logs/firewood.  We are currently going through a cold snap with some bitter cold and snow.  With proper moisture and light I could then have a wood pile glowing with bioluminescent mushrooms?

Also, doing further searches on this species it looks like it's spores are actually sold commercially.  They show as not being edible or active so I assume the only worthwhile feature is that they glow in the dark?

Yes, bring the log back and water it.

They are also really good for turning wood into healthy soil.
