Its on a mature beech, the tree in question is in decline showing some die back but a definite smaller and paler green leaf than its neighbouring beech, has a slight lean towards the main road that is only 15 feet away, tree is about 3 feet dbh with a large typical canopy spread, i am thinking Meripilus but its hard to see in this picture, i will get some better photos as i am going back to the garden to do work in a couple of weeks, the client also says that it has large fruiting bodies but they remove them, thanks for any replies. :001_smile:

Thank you for the replies.

 

ive sent the link to the arbtalk fungi directory with the pictures of meripilus ( arbtalk:adore:) and the client has confirmed these are the fruiting bodies he has been removing, what would you all recommend? with the target being the road i am going for felling but i am interested in what you all think.

 

cheers again

With the symptoms you describe & the location, I would imagine that removing would be a sound decision.

Tony,

Laetiporus on beech ?

 

Its a rare beastie here though, I have only ever found it hosting on beech within NAWS sites (naturalised ancient woodland) I am convinced that laetiporus on beech is an indication of old growth.

 

I have a sample of wood from whippendell that is beech with laeti, it is very different from laeti rotted wood in other genus, i shall show you it one day.
