Rigidoporus ulmarius UK host range

[David Humphries]

Whilst out inspecting today I came across (what is for me) a new host tree association for R. ulmarius.

 

Quercus ilex

 

 

 

 

Oddly (even with the demise) I don't think I've actually seen it on Elm which is where it gets its name from.

 

I'll list below the other trees I've seen the association with and will add to it if anyone has any others?

 

Aesculus hippocastanum

Fagus sylvatica

Acer platanoides

Acer campestre

Sambucus nigra

Quercus x hispanica 

Quercus ilex

 

Acer negundo - (AT member Kveldssanger)

Acer psuedoplatanus - (AT member Kveldssanger)

Poplus spp -  (AT member Kveldssanger) (and me, forgot we'd felled one with Rigi on)

Tilia x europea - (AT member Betula)

Salix spp - (AT member Ben R)

Its associated with brown rot, so doesn't often show adaptive growth in compensating for the decay unlike the white rotters like Gano and dryadeus.

I haven't seen any decay detection or cross sections with this decay on Q. ilex, so not really sure how well it can compartmentalise against it.

Seen it - hadn't identified it - will check Q.ilex  I find to see if there is any potential cores or sections come up in the future , K
