Street trees

[Thea]

Any ideas? I'm not sure it is what I first thought but I'm in the middle of moving (again!) and my fungi book is packed away...

Hello Thea.

 

Not 100% sure on this one.

 

Any chance of cutting a slice and posting a shot?

 

Would lean toward G applanatum or Phelinus perhaps.

 

Can't really be more specific, I'm afraid.

G applanatum looks like it to me

Or a Phellinus...I agree David. Except you spelt it wrong!

Ganoderma adspersum / applanatum (probably 1st) on a swedish whitebeam. up north we have this loads, and they get really dodgy, taking them over at ground level without little trouble. seems the S.whitebeam has almost no answer to the decay it causes. (by the looks of the crown i wouldn't park my car under it in a breeze either). have it out .

Bottlebutt. Multiple Gano' brackets. Thin crown. Typical street tree targets. Methinks that tree aint gonna be around for much longer!

No sean, that would be the other Monkey-D

 

 

He's a snooty bleeder that one, I'm always gettin confused with him.
