Diseases affecting ash

[arboriculturist]

Hello all.

 

I am doing some research on diseases that affect Common Ash and down here in the south I rarely get to see any of the more serious fungal fruiting bodies of fungi that affect this species.

 

Has anyone got any good fruiting body photographs of Inonotus hispidus and Perenniporia fraxinea at any stage of development that they could post here?

 

Any other images of nasties on Ash would be most welcome.

 

Appreciated.

Hello again

 

Any close ups of the underside pore bearing surfaces of these 2 fungi, or cut through sections would be great.

 

Who knows , we may all learn something here.

Perenniporia fraxinea.

 

This fungi caused the rot in the Ash tree that fell and killed three people in Birmingham, U.K. in 2001.

Scroll down and read all the article, Notice in the visible disease section - 'fungal brackets' and severe 'white rot'

 

Whilst doing the AA Tech Cert we were shown close up photos of the actual bracket found at the base of the Birmingham Ash. I believe these pics are in use by a few colleges. Not sure where you could locate them though. Sorry cant be of more help.
