Entomology and decay, your help required!

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Ive heard our Tony is a bit of an ento whizz, so Tony this is your oportunity to teach me a thing or two!

 

and anyone else who has any interesting docs research or images (images that they own copyrights to) regarding saproxlic beetles etc in relation to decay, and especialy specific decays fungal relationships.

 

for inclusion within the ecology portions of my field guide:thumbup1:

 

your contributions and help will be most greatfully recieved.

 

any images will be given due credit of course and if you feel up to it as a specialist subject a chapter is yours for the taking.

what are the rates to be, will it be per picture or per fruiting body, can we expect royalties?.....

 

just kidding of course. i have nothing to offer i'm afraid but i will be very interested to hear how it comes along and what the finished product will have to offer. very best of luck with this venture.

mmm, this is an interesting point, I would hope that credits and reciprocation of such co-operation was enough, however such images that are essential I guess if held to ransom I will have no choice but to pay incentives!

 

I dont want to make any money from this book for myself so I guess it is feasible, and the priority is the books realistic and potential influence on the industry as a whole.

I too have nothing to offer, I'm afraid but look forward to the book. Let us know when it comes out.

Its a passing interest for me Tony. A kind of wander-through-the-woods-and-what-the-hell-is-that type of thing. More anatomy and taxonomy than specific interactions with particular decay types. Earwigs have wings don'tcha know.

 

Truth be told, decay isn't really my bag - I'm a planning and development guy. Think planting spec rather than fruiting body. Risk policy rather than coronet cut.
