The Climacodon septentrionalis has arrived!

[Xerxses]

Just read that the Northern Tooth Fungi is a parasitic heart rot.

 

Do you know if it's known to associate with trunk failure?

 

 

 

.

 

In my experience they tend to appear in tight branch unions and therefore often lead to "branchfailure", but most common around here is on double stemmed trees with included (?)bark. The result of that would be trunk/mainbranch failure.

mmmmmm

 

DIRECTORY!

 

No records of it from the FRDBI so can't see a purpose for it being in the Directory, as it's currently at this stage, a British based directory.

 

But could expand it in the future though.

[Xerxses]

You are more then welcome!

Ive seen them every year the last 4 years.

Id love to come over for a foray next year...cant make it this year.

 

Will try to find some other stuff aswell.

Keep my eyes open for Schizophyllum commune that I spotted last year and Hericium coralloides...

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

we get loads of commune on beech here, corraloides is a cool one though.

 

and david my Jordans describes it as infrequent, not rare!
