      Sorry for so late replying, thanks for the ID! I had that far guess, although I was betrayed by overall colors, generally it seems they are a little more reddish! About the tree, yes, they are a lot of Platanus sp. nearby! great hint* Cheers Posted 8 years ago

        Hi Rui, Missed the reply at the time I think. This one really has the typical habitus/colours for longiceps and with Platanus nearby it should be okay to name it so (I've added the ID). Posted 7 years ago
