I have located a source for a paper on endophyte potential of fommes, if anyone is like me very interested.

Looks quite interesting indeed, will give it a closer look at some point.

 

Yet again today, I find myself suprised by the lack of Fomes fomentarius at The Beeches of Burnham.

 

Conspicious by its absence.

not its natural nieghbourhood, more the domain of the cuticularis.

 

if a population is already colonised one might expect there to be no room at the inn?

 

maybe being endophytic by nature, a recycling fungi as oposed to a biotrophic parasite it is activated by the conditions that would occur in a senescent tree and thus the endophytes within surpassed by a more antagonistic biotroph?

Then I would of thought Oak would be of taste to the fomentarius.

But again, no evidence of that association either.

 

Good job we've had the landy & saws sani-sprayed before working there.

Wouldn't want to be passing any Hampstead nasties over to our country cousins.

can we call fommes a nasty? Im nt so sure now, I mean the lifestyle of the endophyte isnt one that we could would stop, they are present in the wood with or withoutmans pressence, so how could we spread it and would it be a negative?

It may have latent tendencies, but it's still a sporulator last time I looked.
