The Meripilus thread!

[David Humphries]

a butt form not discimilar to the long term effect of the brown rot of Laetiporus, wonder if it too is present? or if that is entirely down to the selective delignification

 

Have not witnessed Laetiporus fruiting on that particular Oak.

it is similar to that of beech but probably a lot slower in its effect, it is on the increase in oaks for certain.

 

IME it's simular to beech for Quercus robur (and Q. petrea) and comparable in its the effects to Grifula frondosa, but M. giganteus and G. frondosa both are far more aggressive on Q. rubra.

The lower brackets are so dark, because the photo was taken with flash light, which creates a "dark tunnel effect" in the lower half of the scene because the light didn't reach the "bottom". The true colour would be more like that of the brackets on top.

hadnt considered that Gerrit, very good spot!

I have to disagree there, I don't think the distance between those two brackets is great at all, think tony had right first time, those brackets are darker than usual

no, Gerrit is correct, hence the overly white pore layer too, which is more normal and yellow ish in the further brackets.

I'll get this photo into photoshop and look at the levels and test it for sure
