A sticky situation over a Ganoderma.

I don't mind, you teach me something everyday!

 

I've been thinking, after some of the posts I've read by you that I've maybe been giving the wrong sort of action when I get called up about a Ganoderma... which makes me feel like an idiot!

 

When I put that post about Gano being a white rot fungus and it eating away at the trees Lignin and Cellulose, which causes embrittlement, stops the tree from flexing which 99.9% of the time leads to wind throw or limb shed... I was 'wrong wrong wrong' ? :001_tt2:I always thought white rot was rather lethal, but that's not the case, and it's actually quite slow and not too lethal depending on species and spp of Gano?

correct, if rot is lethal and rot is a fact of life for the mayure tree why arent we being leaped on by rotten trees all day every day?

Also, sometimes I feel hesitant to post anything as I've noticed that quite a large number of members on here are rather judgemental and biased

rather than think of the fungus as the cause, think of it as a symptom
