Inonotus dryadeus

[RobArb]

to be honest, apart grom the BL of a few oaks, Fh and Ls also don't like to show their faces in this northern climate

 

what also doesn't help is the topography of lancashire and the fact we are still a very much an industrial part of the country (manchester, liverpool, bolton, wigan, burnley etc etc) that the microclimate is also different too

 

AND.... our soil conditions (check LandIS) are very different, plus lots of flood plains surrounded by the pennines and the north wales mountain range

weve got chicken in one of the oaks at the woods here! it fruited a couple of years ago, but nothing since! it was the one ed and tom climbed on the climbing day!

 

ive also got photos of fistulina on oaks at dunham massey too!

[davyjones]

I'm generally more shocked if I see a mature or over-mature native roadside oak without Inonotus dryadeus or Fistulina down here in S Devon (bit of an exaggeration maybe..)

 

Saw this beauty the other day with a fine bit of bulge-wood formation and just had to access it completely legally without going over any walls or anything honest..

then you must have quite a collection of images davy jones, post away me old mucka

[RobRainford]

this fine oak is showing some signs of an I. dryadeus colonisation, can you spot them?

 

It was at Wynnstay house near Wrexham.
