Lightning damage & Fungi

Haven't noticed any fungal activity on either of the two above as yet, perhaps worth a look later in the year.

 

What is of interest is why the path of the strike took to one side of the callousing wound & not the other?

 

Shortest path (least resistance type gig) or a difference in wood fibres either side of the collar due to angle of the cut :hmmmm:

reckon your right with least resistance, the lay of the fibers is evident:thumbup1:

pretty colored fung. would be keen to see what the resi shows; maybe not much if the strike is not old. cracks are sometimes seen better with resi than tomo...

 

where cracks are the features of greatest concern, perhaps a rough pull test from different angles, whilst observing movement in the crack up close? just a thot--fraxinus are quick to split ime, if unpruned that is.
