hollow ash and whitebeam natural pollard

[Ben Ballard]

a few pics in my lunch break on sat with out any fungi to id and what i have learnt from monkey d and hama would say it is hispidus causing the hollowing on the 2 ash and the swelling at the base of the second ash is from a buttrotting fungi or is this a sign of hispidus? the white beams top came out a few years ago and now covered with fruiting tripe fungus,the small pollard is the sort of thing i do when thinning a area to give second storey of growth and give some character:001_smile:

it aint tripe, probably trametes, as for the ash, that is one of the finest hispidus cankers/necroses ive seen to date, very nice example, was the tree high elevation?

 

as for its roots, one of them may have perenniporia, either that or pholiota but thats a different language, tends to fatten individual roots as apposed to a fused flared plate

 

got your txt, but cant work out this new htc wildfire phone yet!

trametes/stereum hard to tell without upper

you will have to take a look when you next down if thats the like the fungi on the sycamore you looked at last year they both appear to be putting on a flush of fresh fruiting at the moment

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

yes and im not sure those where tripe on the sycamore either, they had the upper surface but having seen so much trip I dont think they have a pore structure as such, so on the sycamore a fresh flush would be worth a look for sure to see em in thier best state

I do the same sort of thing here Ben. I cut field maple,hawthorn and some sallow to give mid height as you say something to look at:001_smile:
