I cant add much to these threads in this fungi section, but the examples that you and hama post make me sit and watch in awe. I dont know much about fungi, but I can say hand on heart, i have learnt more on here about tree decay than i have from learning at myerscough for the whole first year.

 

Keep it coming fellas

[David Humphries]

Good to hear it Rob.

 

That is the whole point

 

Both Hamma & I, plus others, get that this is a great platform to share and help get the people within our beloved industry more aware of the bigger picture that Trees actually are a part of.

I get more glad every day that I joined this place. I get to see more of the industry at pretty much every level. From the stunt fells by that crazy scot we all know and love. To the macro shots of fungi in obscure places!

 

I don't think I could have found so much information by looking it up myself.

 

I've purchased myself jordans fungi book. It's helpful if I can get the first half of a name but when I don't know much about it I struggle. So I've bought the Collins book now!

One of the reasons i post is because I know just how hard it is to find the info and pictures, why some of it is new!

 

You have to be a bit loopy to be realy this deep into it, but its becoming increasingly clear that the contributions we make here on fungi are helping a lot of people, and thats priceless to me.

 

heres a pic of my mate Tom, hes groundscare at a local school and as you can see, the rot is spreading! This shots taken today, i go over to the school now and again as it rivaled Kew in its hey day and has many rare trees, and due to the neglect and age of the specimens, the site has some great fungi.

 

tom always comes out for the stroll round, i give him pointers on fungi and VTA and we keep an eye on and discuss the tree stock from a hazard point of view.

 

When my ecouragment and influence gets someone so into it they are prepaired to lay in the dirt for a photo of a simple bolete, well thats job done to me, another arb mycota on the road to a more "inclusional view of thier world"

 

If you can make it, you should come on the foray in Whippendell woods with Me david and the arbtalkers, youll be rolling about in the dirt and wondering whats happening to your sanity!

I was told once that when the fungi fruits the wood has already started to rot and is past its best.

 

Any truth to that?

[Bundle 2]

With wood/tree decay fungi, it has been postulated that the `FB's form when the hyphae are close enough to the exterior of the trees core....It could be said that the wood is knackered and thats why we see the fungi's FB. It may also be that the tree (host) is past it's best and the fungi is simply trying to procreate before it dies from lack of food...Seriously though, there as many times if not more when these "half truths" lacck any real scientific substance.

depends what use you want for the wood!

 

but as a general rule yes, rotten wood aint much use to anyone but fungi!

I would love to come on that. Depeds when it Is though. And whether the other half will let me go! Travelling would be the awkward part. I do have a relatives I can stay at but it depends where the foray is!

It will most certainly be a good day out

 

If you can get down and stay at the rellies, then your only real problem, will be having to deal with the hama

 

 

Tell the other half it's essential CPD
