Perenniporia fraxinea

Hi fungi guys, anybody seen this beastie, perenniporia, on sycamore? Significance for tree?

Cheers.

Oops my mistake Acer platanoides.

Some pics.

No, afraid not.

Neither have I, but taking the wood quality of Acer into account, my prediction would be, that it will turn out to be quite detrimental to (the stability and/or condition of) the tree.

Hi,

I had a tomogragh done last year, but this only showed some decay consistent with the flattish dysfunctional bark, last pic, which is on the opposite side to thefruiting bodies. This of course would not show root or decay below the buttress. The die-back in the crown seems to be associated with this dysfunctional bark. Also some signs of exudate on this side. Makes me wonderwhether some Armillaria is in there too, although no signs of rhizomorphs. Busy road as a target too. Pulling test?

Cheers

As a tomograph reading is not always reliable in detecting white rot in the trunk of tree species such as Aeasculus, Platanus and Acer, I would advise a pulling test.

Pulling test? What's that?

Hi Gerritt,

I,m probably barking up the wrong proverbial tree here, but I thought a tomograph would show :confused1:up white rot because the preferential delignification at an early stage would be detected, unlike say Kretschmaria degrading cellulose. Is it because they are diffuse porous?
