That Fista from last year?

 

Oh yeah, I do believe that if you take a look at the info boards at the car park entrances next year, it will categorically state that this is now to be re-named the "Humphries" wood in honour of my awesomeness

Future Research and Monitoring

Commission research to investigate aspects of the ecology of this species, including ex situ cultivation and translocation techniques, and refining habitat management for its conservation. (ACTION: NE)

 

mmmmm...... potential, hamas got a plan a hatching! i feel a justified use of an increment corer coming on!

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

The fungi are definatley out and about at the mo, and at this rate if the rains hold out till mid september our Arbtalk foray should be all i promised!

 

Found a new species this week to add to my list of bioversity within Whippendell woods and im rather chuffed as its considered rare.

 

Pholiota flammans

 

 

The phaeolus is coming out a bit more too

 

And heres some parisitised colybia fusipes and the ganoderma applanatums youll be seeing on the foray:thumbup1:

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

cerocorticium molare-

 

This is considered rare, though i think being a crown deadwood species its lack of record is due to it only being found after high winds and break outs bringing it to the forest floor. I actually find this more often than one would expect as it is like so many others more widespread than is believed.

Those Colybs are nuts.

 

Not seen that before.
