Armillaria at height...

[sloth]

Armillaria here up to 2.5m (on the top, at the base of the right hand limb) and all round the base of this dead oak. It was alive in 2013, with only Fistulina present at the time.

How high have you seen Armillaria fruiting?

[Gary Prentice]

Can't remember if it was fruiting or not, but rhizomorphs over thirty foot high under the bark of a DED dead elm

[David Humphries]

Fruiting about 5m up a heavily colonised dead lime trunk.

 

Not often seen fruiting at height, but like Gary we come across rhizomorphs a few meters up various trunks under dysfunctional bark.

We took out a Turkey Oak this week, infected with honey fungus. Can remember how high the fruits were, but certainly above my head.

That's some serious fructification there David! It's not something I see at height often, around 3 or 4m on a poplar stem is the highest I've seen before...

On another note, how the hell do you file your photos?! You seem to have this remarkable ability to pull up a raft of images relating to any given situation at the drop of a hat...

I'd love to get my hands on Davids fungi identification and photo collection! Hint hint........

Just have them in individual species folders on an external hard drive that goes around with me so I can uploaded either on a lap top or the office pc when ever I need to get hold of them. So I add shots straight from the Canon or phone straight in to the specific folders. That's as long as I know what they actually are of course. I have folders full of unknowns that I'll hopefully eventually get around to sorting.

 

Just had a look and can see that there are 500 folders containing 18,054 individual fungi images............blimey, I've got some sort of problem ain't I

It's not a problem until it interferes with life in a negative way. Has your wife been kicked out of bed yet to make room for tripods and hard drives?
