I assume the trees were just heavily infected (if thats the right term) with beef steak fungus, which i think is what causes the colouration.

 

Im sure Hama will be along to correct me if im wrong!

 

Oh yes your on the money!

 

It is highly prized, had it three times in 22 years get somone on here to carve you (and me!) a bowl from a couple of the logs, stunning. gotta love fungi! Good old fistulina hepatica, aint nature great!
