Re: Dual Decay
As promised, a lovely old Oak pollard with more than its fair-share of decay fungi. Who’d going to be brave and I.D. the desiccated example (growing in small clumps around the root plate)?
Looks like I’ll be ok for fire-wood this winter.

Re: Dual Decay
Its fascinating to see different fungal species competing for the same food resource...
Those fungal species will be fighting each other tooth and nail to be the dominant coloniser... Using all the chemical tricks they have to fight each other off... It is a whole diffferent field of research that is only just being explored!! |
