Small amount of decay in the timber, about the size of a saucer at 10feet high.

 

So was the saucer sized decay point, connnected continuously to the decay at the base?

From what i could tell, as we disced the butt up, it rapidly expanded from the highest point (about 10feet) to ground level. Even in the lowest two sections, about 10" thick, the spread of decay drastically increased. Makes you wonder how severe it was say a foot or 2 below ground, and in what condition the structural roots were in.

[David Humphries]

The associated trunk decay and extending column would be something other than the root devouring Meripilus.

 

One of the Ganodermas would be the likely culprit, and looking at the psuedosclaratial plating within the decay, it looks as if there were different competing colonies of decay fungi at work.

You the man Mondey D. There were decayed Merip fruiting bodies everywhere around the base, no sign of anything else. So I can only report what is seen (fact) rather than what I believe may have been there (conjecture) But seeing as you have a far broader knowledge of things fungi related, I assume you are indeed correct

Oh i don't know, four or five days of dart board trenching with an airspade (to relieve all that nasty trade fare compaction)

would be soooo enjoyable
