Meripilus and very nice images too, lovely colour saturation.

 

there is a lot of talk of what it can and cant do, a great deal of caution is advised.

 

how long have you known the tree? there is a footpath within the shear root ball area?

 

there is root damge to upper surface on at least one root but also it has to be said compensation growth from what i can see.

 

any other photos? especialy of the crown condition.

I've known the tree for about 8 years, prob been paying attention to it for half of that time. there is a 6ft high by about 20 by 10 pile of a dirt (a jump) next to it and a road onthe other side which is mostly travelled by light vehicles an dpesestrians but occasionally it's used by heavy plant.

Th crown looks less green than it used to i think and maybe a bit less dense (a lighter shade) I'll get some pictures next time i'm up there its twin stemmed forma v shape union about 30ft up. total height around 30M.

highlighted- perfect crown symptoms that lead a consultant surveyor to ask for a more detailed inspection in meripilus cases.

 

but the track has done for this one, the meripilus is just the messenger.
