What killed this beach

[scbk]

Has anyone got anyone ideas on the diease/fungus which killed off this beach?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not a great photo, but there was a fair bit of this fungus type growth at the base

Hard to make out in the photo on my little phone screen, but I'd say Meripilus giganteus, or is it a pile of leaves!?

I does'nt look like it was dead...... dying maybe

the sap wood looks alive still im normally wrong

Ok it might not have been dead as a dodo, but it never properly came into leaf this year, from what I remember it had come into bud and that was about it

Husqivarus Chainsawyus.

 

:laugh1:Ironiclly it was neither of the saws in the photos that felled it, but it was another husky

I would have been interesting to see what it did next spring if it was left, Id have given it an extra few months just to see if it came back.

Looks like Meripilus to me.

Nope sorry, can't seem to see any pictures of a piece of costline with an apparently dead beach to be able to profer a speculative answer as to what killed it!

 

However, the Beech tree in your photographs does appear to have been infected with Meripilus giganteusl
