Kretz seems to be pretty aggressive on ash then? It is aggressive anyway it seems but I've seen an ash completely goosed by it. And I can't believe I've seen it on ash before you tony .

I probably have but not with fruiting to confirm.

After todays showers i took another roadside walk and found another stump which was rather rotten. I don't think kretz was at play here as the wood was very soft. There were desicated FB but they were too small and too decomposed to see what they were.

The same Ash stumps just dried out a bit and bleached by the sun.

Not sure where to post these so figure this be as good a place as any. A poplar fell from today, spotted some fruiting bodies and then found peeling bark and soft wood. looking back at the pictures the left side of the canopy does look thinner and im surprised that she had not gone over or failed in some way. Enjoy

Also the reason for the mewp:thumbup1:

A willow stub from a large limb we decided to fell due to top being split out and hanging. We knew the rot would have been present with the 4 brackets around the base and neighbouring stem but we weren't sure how bad it would be. The centre was very very soft and the fungus was making its way into the remaining wood. The plan is to monitor the larger limb leaning back and to tidy up the remaining stool in due course to leave it as a large willow coppice stool.
