Love google.

 

AKA G.lucidum? Very pretty. Eats conifers. Makes good beer.Your point.?

 

is that a syn then? thought oregenense was a redwood special?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

no NOT a syn! told you! reckon its the yanky strain of lucidum though, very closely related at least.

Yeah, you are right, same difference though. Didn't say WRC is impervious to all fungi, but that dessicated gano doesn't look too fresh.

I never meant to imply that you did:thumbup1:

 

I was just saying that fungi have been breaking down trees for a very long long time, think they have it mastered now!

It is an interesting concept that pioneer species of fungi may be required to pave the way for our more recognisable tree decayers, especially so with tree species that produce high levels of phenols and terpenes.

thanks creeper, I always appreciate these PDF docs, ive an awful lot sent to me that Ive yet to read, I dont have accses to those scientific docs like at science direct and would download the lot if i won the lottery!

 

so everyone of these is like gold to me, ta

You should have a look at this one if you have time, it's nice.

Not maybe required, they must have been present to start up the process of decomposition by others and they appear and contribute in a rather strict order (succession), that has been researched and documented for several tree species such as Quercus, Fagus, Pinus, Picea and Abies by English, Swedish, Norwegian, German, Polish and Dutch mycologists. And thousands of (larvae of) insects such as beetles totally depend on the wood degrading macrofungi for the "preparation" of their food.

Indeed, thanks. Any comments on fungi on T. plicata in particular?

No, just generalistic (necrotrophic) parasitic macrofungi on T. plicata, because it's not an originally indigenous European tree species.
