Dead Wood Habitat

[David Humphries]

Beech that succumbed to Meripilus in 2008/2009

 

Reduced to a monolith in 2010.

 

Meripilus & Chondrostereum shots from before & after it had become completely dysfunctional,

and then shots from today of Coprinus sp (domesticus) and associated ozonium.

Ta Maj,

 

maybe a couple of hours at a leisurely pace to create the 'Cornettos'

 

But it took me weeks to get the sawdust out of me gillet pockets

hell yeah nice one, even more awesome pics....

 

 

do you find it hard sometimes to find a safe work position, while doing the coronets?

 

did 3 ash trees for a farmer just after xmas, all 3 heavy reductions and one i coronet-ed ......just thought work position was a bit awkward!!!

 

probably me just being a prune.....
