Matt's fungi finds

Matthew Arnold · May 8, 2013

Some more Dryad's Saddles. The 7 pictures are on a large and tall Ash. We have bee told by highways and the insurance company that it will not reach across the road or to the house. I will get some pictures of the crown and the distance between the road and house and let you guys decide. The current prognosis for this tree is "foobarred" but is going to be left despite Dryad's Saddle working its magic at the base and the roots undermined by bunnies.

Some nice images. I have a real fondness for the jelly ear, not sure why. Perhaps it reminds me of my childhood playing in the woods, it certainly isn't the taste!

Ta mate. Sadly that was from my now dead Ixus 115 HS. Now gone up in the world with a Powershot SX260 HS. Bit of a lump to have in my pocket but its still better than having a big bridge or SLR bag rolling around.
