This is the reason I joined this site Tony to learn thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge:thumbup:

I sometimes worry im stating the obvious, then a couple of guys like those above come along and say "blimey i just learnt something"

 

its going to take an age to wade through my library to find the right images for this, i have some 20'000 to look through and file but as long as you lot feel this way about the subject i shall do my very upmost to keep the quality high.

 

No dont worry, we learn a lot from you Master Dryad, and dont forget the silent followers....

The ones too shy to ask! By all means do state the obvious!

NO! It´s called "Humble encouragement":001_tongue:

 

Yeah so jealous... Found a Hericium corraloides though!!!! In my hometown last weekend at the old shooting range, growing on a Balsampoplar on the floor. Pity it was past its best, but will have a look next year as apparently it has been there the last 2 years.

get yourself stamets book and prepair yourself so when you find this one again, you can generate mycelium for colonising new trees:001_cool:

 

Ive got a bag of hericium going from a couple of bits of the rotten wood out of that tree in kent!

came across this cherry today Hama and the base looks like on the pictures you posted yesterday, it doesn't look as pronounced on the photos. I thought it might be just a graft but the graft on these cherry trees was higher up:confused1: I probably have it totally wrong but at least you have me looking more:blushing:

Nice one lorry, now, this ones pholiota squarosus, a root decay fungi that is also responsible for forming cavities within the butt of many broadleafs, not seen it on Cherry before. It will cause a swell low down and on the major roots, as your eye told you was the case:thumbup1:

 

big fat wide roots are usualy the result of an internal decay pressence, a lot of poeple do not realise it, but many a tree is decayed, it takes a little while, but when you see the language of the various strategies of decay youll know they are there long before they fruit, and long after too.

 

This does have a down side, too many folk with eyes on this level and the trees being felled around town will go through the roof!
