The diary of an obsessive compulsive arborist

[QUOTE=Rich Rule;674029]There was 1 of 2 reasons I went into the woods. If I had taken my camera, the fellas would have started wondering.

I did take a picture of a mushroom whilst in the Arctic Circle though a couple of years ago. Krakmo, North of Norway. Can you confirm what it is?

 

Cheers.

 

Cottaging?

Been out and about as usual, BB today, checking out the soil profiles and noting tree conditions, the old vets are in a right old state, leafing later Kretz and armillaria everywhere and I suspect the mycorrhizae are severely lacking in many of the oldest vets now. If you want to witness burnham beeches I suggest you do it soon, its old vets are failing, bar a view exceptions, these will be those with good attendance of Mycorrhizae communities I suspect, shall see come autumn. Epping on the other hand with a less organic horizon appears to be as good now as when i first visited? Could this indicate that eutrophication and root damage caused by heavy hoofed grazers at BB is having a detrimental effect?
