Funny you should say that! I have a truly magnificent Beech with Merip in a cemetery, targets galore! But such a wonderful tree!!

i know it a bit sad but i wonder out of oak and beech which has the most different types of fungi that live on them i guess the oak is stronger so copes with decay better

thats a well rotted stump what fungi did that?

[David Humphries]

As old Oak is known to have literally hundreds of organism associations, from mamals to nematodes, I would hazard a guess at Oak as having the most known fungal associations.

 

Good question though.
