Hamadryads diary- a new chapter

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Did you sound the trunk/butresses Tony?

 

Bet it would make a very interesting reading for decay detection.

 

 

Also bet that's now on your diary for a re-visit later this year

I rarely bother to tap/hama decays these days, usualy just a formality.

 

and yes, this one will certainly be a regular stomp for me from end of august:thumbup1: I cant wait to catch this at full tilt.

Ive always fancied playing a game involving my assesment visualy then one made using thermo, picus, resi etc it would either knock me down a peg or two or make me an unbareable smart arse!

Thats interesting! and yes I would do that, be an expensive game to play though!

Was working on one of my fave sites today and finished by two so had a bit of time to play.

 

I felled this large poplar two years back, maybe three, it had rigidiporus all round the base but it wasnt my spec or decision to fell. What was interesting was the formation of a sterile lump (panic fruiting of a biotrophic fungi) on the cut surface of the stump which has only just begun to show signs of degradation. I saw a slime mold on its surface which was pretty cool!

 

just down the road, a poplar that youll have seen me post before when these fruits where fresh and panicking all over the stem. This has also formed now a magenta coloured sterile lump where the origional brackets where and are now inside this large sterile fruit. (also Rigidiporus ulmarius)

Great shots Tony,

 

slime mould looks like somekind of alien space mucus

Ive wanted to capture that slime mold vein type situation for donkies!

Oh yes, nearly forgot, yet another oak with Dryadeus to add to my ever increasing and now embarrassing large collection of standing trees with Inonotus dryadeus.

 

 

 

 

[David Humphries]

Just the reduced one, or are any of the others in the line showing BL or have fruit bodies?
