The Ganoderma thread!

[David Humphries]

Of all the trees ive seen with perenniporia all bar one still stand, I know of one ash in particular that is on a riverbank and undermined with massive colonisation of perenniporia for a decade that I know of. Its clear that it is a species specific relationship (maybe different on other hosts) but as for the ash, Im certain if the tree is healthy and vital compensation will be obvious within the root crown.

 

I wouldnt want a leaning tree with it over my home, but reduced and loadings kept low I dont see why ash cant be retained in the long term if monitored and or reduced. It is not one of the fungi that inspires fear in me, just caution.

 

 

 

I do believe that's a fine & reasonable summing up of the relationship betwixt Perenni & Ash, Tony

 

Good one

So do I , but bear in mind, that f.i. Robinia or Platanus and P. fraxinea is a complete different story.

I totaly agree, but I do often ponder how this is so, a curious creature the perenniporia, im aware of two beeches also showing clear compensation, as also in oaks, a fungi we need to delve much deeper into:thumbup1:

The explanation is not found in the fungus, but in both Platanus and Robinia not being able to regenerate new major roots to compensate for the loss of the decayed buttresses, roots or the root plate needed for stability, which is also the case with infections of both tree species with Meripilus giganteus and Pholiota squarrosa.

I imagine that's the same with Poplar as well, gerrit.

David,

Yes as far as Meripilus giganteus, Pholiota squarrosa, Oxyporus populinus and Abortiporus biennis are concerned, no with respect to P. fraxinea, which to my knowledge has not (yet) been documented from Populus, see my question concerning perreniopoplarphenia.

Another one bites the dust!

[RobArb]

would this be G. applanatum?

[Fungus]

would this be G. applanatum?

 

Rob,

On Prunus and without checking the spore size, my 90 % sure guess would be yes .

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

this gano whilst not a complete surprise is higher than any ive seen to date.

 

huge implications for limb failures with this scenario
