Stump grinding ganoderma advice

[onetruth]

Thanks for the contributions.

 

The stem flares to about 2m dia. at ground level so I wont be digging it. I can't keep it for habitat either.

 

Is 'healthy' totally void of parasitic fungi, or are we running just by crown symptoms?

By "healthy" I mean not presenting any obvious symptoms or signs of stress. I take your (and Gary's) point about the prevalence of the fungi.

 

There are some pretty special trees within 50m or so; I want to do the right thing by them. That said, based on the replies thus far I'm inclined to back fill the hole with the grindings - will save at least a days work.
