I though perhaps dryads saddle, but also wondered about cuticularis, however, I don't recall what the rot from it looks like?

 

Dryads saddle as in I. Dryadeus? I struggle with English names now I'm used to Latin!

 

It's a white rotter of oak butts afaik!

 

I. Cuticularis I couldn't call on, situation doesn't seem right because if I recall it's more on veterans and is quite specific to its environment?

 

The reason I said merip is if you look at the centre of the logs in pic 2 at the left hand side, the coloration seems like merip and an advanced stage for it to get to height.

 

Waiting for more comments on this!

Dryads saddle - Polyporous squamossus

 

Cuticularis on exposed wood, not just veterans/ancients, particularly fond of beech.

 

Colouration/lines are similar to merip, but I think the affected branch is from higher up, most likely ruling it out. Where are the fungoid trio?

Thats a heavy amount of pruning or is the rest coming down at a later date?

Trees at Dunham Massey are in a similar state. They have long term meripilua infections and a previous accident was their reasoning.

Today's beech reduction. All the limbs were covered in ice making it real fun.

That was the only one I took. It was too cold before I started and just took that as Henry was chipping the last bits.

A stone dead Beech with Merip. A couple of pics I received from a professional snapper who lived over the road.
