Beech fail.

What size & shape pores does this Wotsit sp have exactly, not one I'm familiar with tbh

 

 

Should always have access to a spare cam Rupey, never know when the perfect rigging-lunge-dyno op, may be on offer

Yep, poor show !! Didn't even have a phone with me that day! Proper rubbish performance all round!

 

Left a rake behind, and now can't find my 30 inch 066 bar!!? Also, lost some keys this week, my best sunnies, broke the spare wheel off the trailer and the roller shutter doors off the truck, and didn't put the fuel cap back on the chipper after re fueling (drove 20 miles but didn't lose it)

 

Maybe the heat.

This is classic g. australe, a large contribution to these failures is the expanding mycelium within the fork, included area, causing a pressure against the two faces, add the wieght, general dysfunction and bingo.

 

tree might of looked healthy but that bracket would have been noticed if not for the ivy.

looking at that old fractured limb, top right in first photo this had a fair old bit of Auricularia mesenterica too, the tripe fungus.

[Rupe]

Thats the one!

 

I do wish I had seen this tree before hand, but this was my first visit.

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

that old tripe fungus is a great one for vetranising beeches and creating habitat, came across a lot in cornwall to, just to confirm my views on it from a recent site.

 

The fact i identified the fungi from a fractured limb without any fruit whatsoever just re iterates what i say about the body language of decay/trees.

And the fact that you are a fungi nerd.
