This was a near miss. Last month we topped out two beech next door to this one due to ganoderma but the was no sign of fruiting bodies on this monster I'm a little glad there wasn't really because I'd of hates to be up this when it fell

There was one small 8in root holding it up but not much

This is a secondary infection I think bleeding canker I think on beech but not the cause of the failure

Pic 3, Kretzmarina deusta, causes basal decay and windthrow, rarely shows signs of such decay in crown, so it can just fail without notice

 

pic 4, I would certainly bet its a Gano, seems too thick to be applanatum, i would hazard an educated guess at adspersum.

 

no meripilus present?

 

that is one mahoosive included union on that beech, bound to spit its dummy out sooner or later! esp. with a gano hanging off it!
