Fungi ID on mature deodar.

[Mick Dempsey]

As part of a bigger job the client has asked me about this cedar.

 

It is mature, perhaps over mature, in a situation of some concern, a few large limbs have been removed over the years.

There is a bracket fungus on the wound of the most recently removed limb, 3 meters up on the left as we look.

 

Wondered if any of you peeps could identify it so I can tell him and we can move forward with a decision.

 

TIA of course.

A suggestion and definitely not an ID...  on a conifer, 3m up... Phaeolus schweinitzii, Dyer's Mazegill.  Not a good one for the tree.

Any other pictures of the fungi? 

 

From that angle, the cut looks a little dodgy.

[Mick Dempsey]

Dodgy cut, probably, not really my concern.

 

Another pic of location.

Nice Cedar though. any other shots of the fungi you were able to get? Be good to see a little more of it.

I’ll pop back and get some more in a few days, if it is what has been suggested, it’ll need confirmation. Thanks.

As promised a few more pics for confirmation or not. @AJStrees @nepia @David Humphries

 

Client is in two minds about removal, tree is massive 2 meters minimum dbh.

 

Thanks in advance.
