How far up the butt do you think the rot goes? Anything worth milling?

I will be looking for something to mill to get me out of the house over Christmas.

Inonotus dryadeus, interesting, will take more closeup pics shortly.

I'm thinking of testing the tensile strength of the decayed timber and comparing it to the good timber are you interested.

Will let you know, bare in mined milling infected timber may be a waste of time depending on the end use.
