Auricularia mesenterica A.K.A the tripe fungus

[RobArb]

is that last pic the result of tripe without us actually seeing the physical evidence (FB)?

 

as in "the body language"

[RobArb]

as in if that was the first time you had come across this tree and seen that wound would you have immediately gone mmm Auricularia mesenterica me thinks?

 

and if so how? is that not like any normal wound:blush:

 

i'm still in the early stages of trying to grasy this body language thing, its taking time but eventually will stick:thumbup:

Your getting it rob:thumbup1:

 

in fact with this fungi it is often the "body language of decay" that is our only clue to its pressence, a shy fruiting fungi is the Mesenterica, discrete but aggressive, like a mycelial ninja!

hint hint:blushing:

 

how does that specific wound relate to the tripe? what makes it different?

1Black melanine plating

2 lack of abscission or branch collar, Necroses.

3 shape of cavity

 

add to re iterative growth formations in canopy and other "flags/keys" as seen through the images and you have a good indicator.

are these symptoms synonymous with other fungi, or does this particular rotter have its own unique "style"

 

i mean does the pattern of decay from mesenterica hold any similarities with other types of fungi that have the same rot properties?

 

does that make sense?

I had hoped through the images this would be fairly evident, but yes the strategy of auricularia has its own distinct style.

 

i can spot it a million yards off.

it probably is, i can definately see the similarities in all the images posted

 

i think i'm just trying to over complicate things:blushing:

 

i have a weird way of thinking and sometimes miss things that are right in front of my nose, but don't worry i'll get there:thumbup:

In the second image we see the black plating and necroses/canker fully from ground to canopy, I have only ever seen the fruiting of A. mesenterica on ash and only twice within this wood, which i know intimatley.
