Join The National Meripilus Network

[Marcus B-T]

Welcome to the National Meripilus Network. The remit of the network is: to promote research into the occurrence and affects of Meripilus; to collate information about research into Meripilus; to provide protocols and training for methodologies for the collection and evaluation of data; and to promote the dissemination of information.

The NM Network website http://www.meripilus.net will be the hub of the organisation and will be used to update you of available events, activities and information. The web site will be going live at some point during the week of the 8th December. We have had constructive discussions with relevant information sites on the web and we will be informing you in the coming months of how these will also be used to gather and disseminate information.

We will be organising a number of demonstration and information events in the New Year and we hope that these will be run around the UK to allow everyone in the industry to be involved in the activities of The NM Network. In addition there will be an annual Meripilus Seminar where individuals and organisations can share their findings and experiences.

Everyone is welcome to use the web site, purchase proceedings and publications and attend events, but we are offering you the opportunity receive substantial benefits by becoming a member of the network.

The cost is only £23 including VAT for an annual membership.

Member benefits include: a 50% discount on all NM Network events; a free copy of all information summaries or proceedings of events; and advance notice on all events.

We are negotiating membership discounts with some leading arboricultural organisations and as the organisation running the network Trees Project Limited is offering a 15% discount on all products and TPL events for NM Network members.

I'm in!

 

I love cake!!

[Marcus B-T]

Tea and cake, hadn't thought of that one. My mum is a good cook but she's getting on a bit. Don't see the point in a Ganoderma Network though, since most people accept that Ganoderma is not that bad in the scheme of things.

Not trying to throw the thread off track since we all love tea and cake but I thought Ganoderma isnt something you really want to see attached to a tree?

but I thought Ganoderma isnt something you really want to see attached to a tree?

 

Really rather depends on the specific situation and more importantly which Ganoderma species you actually have.

 

Where G. adspersum is parasitic, G applanatum is quite possibly saprophytic.

 

Then you've also got G. lucidum, G. resinaceum, G. pfeifferi to consider.

 

 

Guess the point is a bit like the Merripilus discussion of the earlier thread, unless further definitive investigation is carried out, condemnation is being based on supposition

 

 

 

Ftr, I'll be joining the MNM Marcus.

Reckon it will be an interesting ride

We have 23 members so far (not bad for a days work) and we are already looking at a site in Wales that could be used as a seminar/demonstration site next year.
