Dual Decay

[David Humphries]

The tree you speak of has been reduced due to the dryadeus n fistulina. As for the two in the background. The one with serious die back is going to be reduced to a pollard. The council tree boys are doing the work and are going to fracture prune and coronet where possible.

 

 

 

Would really appreciate seeing some shots if you get the opportunity Matt

Will get some shots of before and after. The trees have developed a lot since you took the pics in 2009.

David, remember Im trying to track down I. dryadeus/F. he[atica in combo, what shots do you have regarding this tree?

Think there's only the ones from post 14 earlier in this thread.

Hericium coralloides as a successive species on rotten wood in a wide open cavity of a beech, which was decomposed by Inonotus cuticularis, of which in the left front corner old blackened brackets still are present, but which has stopped fruiting since the mycelium of the Hericium found a foothold in the remains of the wood.

thats a mental note taken, and makes a LOT of sense, this is a critical piece of information especialy given the hericiums are bap species, at least Erinaceus is.

 

makes notifying/identifying/defining potential habitats MUCH much easier, im glad I spent 30 mins re reading the entire thread now.

an oak I've been watching in passing for a number of years that has an annual fruiting of Ganoderma resinaceum at the base, which the gardeners (I presume) never fail to remove each and every year

 

I note it now also has (probably for a number of years) fruiting of Laetiporus sulphureus in the canopy.

 

Odd that there appears to be the beginings of a woodpecker hole just below the fruiting of what what would be brown rot decay

a fruiting of G. resinaceum from a previous year on the same tree

Two fungi at work on this Oak tree - Inonotus dryadeus and Ganoderma resinaceum.

I don't think that's a combo I've witnessed before, but imagine its not altogether a rare occurrence.

 

Passing by find or a clients Paul?

A client's tree Dave. Tree officer has requested decay detection to accompany any TPO application that may arise.

 

The resistograph didn't reveal a great deal of decay but ideally I'd like to air spade the root collar to find out more; not sure that will happen though.

 

Would like to reduce and retain if possible.
