Roadside Decay

[David Humphries]

A variety of finds from down in Kent on the way to & back from the trade show.

 

Firstly Ganoderma resinceum on Beech, which is the first time I've witnessed these species together. (1-4)

 

Again G. resinaceum, this time on Oak.

Tony & I came across this one last year

Last years fruiting shown first (5-7)

 

Collybia fusipes on both a stump & neighbouring standing trunk of Oak (8-11)

Nice one david, i never went back that way and glad you did.

 

I never noticed the man hole in the resi oak scene before! root issues no doubt started there. also interesting to see the blackening of the sapwood/xylem in the colybia colonised stump, thats a good image.

 

did you ever find that Oak too?

Not quite sure how I found the way back there, but worth the trip

 

An absolutely corking specimen

181 Diameter

 

Collybia on the field side roots

 

 

How cool would it be to have that outside ya kitchen window

totaly! Ye olde village green scenario:thumbup: there was so many field/grazing scenario veteran oaks we wanted to have a look see, time was not with us on this occasion. always next year, I will take an extra day next time.

 

and for anyone else who fancies a worthwhile visit when down next year especially if you come down with wife/family. Try to take in Knole house and grounds, you will not be disinterested.

We'll try and get a 'quintessentially' English pint or three at a pub overlooking something similar, when you make it over

That sir is a given, very much looking forward to the opportunity.

Not at work today, had a lazy day with the familia.

 

Crazy golf this morning

 

Came across this fine troup of Boletes just outside the course.

 

Just can't find any peace from da fung

David,

. What kind of tree species were near by, that is to say within 5-20 metres ?
