NS4276 : Coral Spot Fungus (Nectria cinnabarina)

near to Milton, West Dunbartonshire, Great Britain

Coral Spot Fungus (Nectria cinnabarina)

A particularly good example of this species, with large fruiting bodies, this specimen shows the so-called perithecial stage on the right-hand side; see also NS3878 : Coral Spot Fungus (Nectria cinnabarina). Their cinnabar-red colour gives the species its name.

The earlier pink conidial stage is shown here: NS3878 : Coral Spot Fungus (Nectria cinnabarina) (see that item for more information). Reference works do not mention the orange-yellow pustules, but they seem to be just an intermediate stage.

The fallen branch shown here was located near the edge of a narrow strip of woodland bounded by two fences.
