Blonde rot?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

I thought I might put this out there just to see if anyone has any views or thoughts on this, also because google may pick this up and see me get answers from outside of arboriculture.

 

I have no pictures at this time, I know its unreal but its true!

 

Basicaly what I am talking about is the potential of a new rot type, whilst a white by definition i have noticed that the pressence of hericiums seems to corelate with a pale yellow decay, straw to blonde in colour.

 

This may be due to a simultaneous rot but one that degrades the lignin to a lesser degree and leaving a yellow discolouration as aposed to the brown of selective cellulose breakdown in a true brown rot scenario.

 

has anyone else recognised a yellow discolouration in dysfunctional wood (mostly beech) and if so have you any knowledge of recorded pressence of hericium Sp?

 

This may prove a very important observation in time and please do keep your eyes peeled for me.

You're stepping very close to blonde-ism there, Hama

I guess I should have thought about the "term" first and should have used yellow instead!
