Roadside Decay

beech with Pholiota aurivella - the golden scalycap

What's the plan for the tree David? Looks like very early stages off fibre buckling just distal to the fungi, possibly...

Not one of mine Kevin, up in Suffolk near to home.

 

Inspection regime in place, but unless carried out at the same time as the fruiting, I think it would be difficult to identify & appraise

 

If it was a roadside limb I would feel inclined to make contact with the land managers and report, as I've had dialogue with them in the past.

Random spot of Perenniporia fraxinea on a roadside London Plane.

Fruiting is sited all around the base, would imagine white rot is fairly extensive across the lower section of this trunk.

 

first tree on rhs

Good response growth, and the load above is fairly light, and symmetrical.

A topped lime with Armillaria mellea.

 

Not really a falling hazard to the target any time soon, but reduced energy production will not help combat the associated root dysfunction and decay.

Pondside rather than roadside this Horse chestnut with Rigidoporus ulmarius.

 

Might splash the cars on the A road if it went over.

Nice eyes! Didn't fancy trespassing to get more shots?

 

Cracking Rigidoporus, there. Really, really nice one.

[David Humphries]

I might of, but then again, I might not have

Oh the wonders of plausible deniability. Haha.
