For czhey- your pine and phaeolus

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Here you go czhey, some shots from your pine, hope this is helpful?

 

I found nothing to confirm the two prior inspections of this tree which stated the pressence of Armillaria rhizomorphs, however phaeolus shwienitzii was present, also indicated by the subtle butt swelling and thinning of the crown which is symptomatic of root dysfunction associated with this highly parasitic fungi.

 

Its lean is to the road and considering its unsuitablility for the location, its decay within the butt and roots this is a perfectly justifiable fell.

Very helpful, thanks.

She is a bit bigger than i remembered

 

Glad you found the Phaeleous (and identified it!) and not Honey fungus. I had not noticed the butt swelling until you mentioned it You've got a better eye for it than me!

 

Will pass on the information to the customer, I didn't hear what you said about nearby trees, they may be 'under threat' aswell?

 

 

Thank you very much,

I will call the customer tomorrow.

the other trees may be colonised by root grafts, be wise to remove the ivy off the one at end of row for a look, its a bit "lumpy"

I'll let them know, but when are you going to be a self employed surveyor so i can give them your details to write a report.....

Dont feel you should have spotted this swelling, it was subtle and the shot which displays it so evidently i selected the best angle and light to "highlight" what was not blatantly obvious, this is what i do, its my "thang":thumbup:

I know, and you do it very well! Hopefully you can set yourself up so you can do surveys soon

 

Thanks very much for visiting the tree, and for posting this thread, hopefully some will learn from it as well as me

 

Thanks. Charlie.

This is indeed my chosen area and direction, at least the one that will pay the bills while i do my research! a double bubble, get paid to survey trees and find fungi, whilst using the accses and samples as research subjects!

 

no flies on me kiddo!

 

Im looking to be fully insured by end of jan 2011, maybe just a bit after, then as things get going picus, resistograph, fractometer and borers along with GPS mapping and an A3 printer:001_cool:

 

im realy excited too, im going to be adding micro images to reports and making mine stand out from ALL the competition!
