Hi David,

 

when you say "cut a bird box in" do you mean something like below (which i created for bats)

or do you mean something completely different?

 

 

 

Also, were the fruiting bodies off the heart wood at the back of the "box" or from the side walls ?

Hi david yes just like that, i had an oak tree die in the front park and the lord wanted me to cut it down, but i managed to talk him into keeping it for habitat and i cut a bird box in the fistulina grew on the back wall of the box from the heartwood. keep in contact about fungi i could talk all day:ohmy:i ride around the park all the time and it is fungi madness here caused by the wet conditions we are having.
