Can you get a shot next time your there Paul?

Were not just finding small branchlets.

 

Here a sizeable branch above a very well used footpath.

 

It has the often associated Auricularia also fruiting on the dysfunctional surface of the branch

 

will be interesting to see the cross section of this one once its removed.

Appreciated Paul.

 

If you see any, could you report back on whether there are any short broken branch stubs where it looks like branches have snapped out?

 

Nice evening for a ride, and all in the name of arbtalk and its fung watching community

have you been finding more or less this year??

[David Humphries]

To early to tell.

 

Haven't inspected all our plane sites yet.

 

Waiting on the LTOA's management guidance on Massaria, which is due soon.

I'll then have a better idea after I've phased in the inspections for the rest, of this year.

I've driven past this tree once, several months ago but instantly recognised it from the pic, funny how a few brackets can make some thing so recognisable i must drive past hundreds of em but that one really stood out.

Light wasn't the best so I shall return to the tree early tommorow on my way to work..its only ten minutes from my house and snap it with my SLR....

We dismantled it today.

 

tbh, maybe too early too worry about & had we carried out the resistograph in the tree, it may have stayed.

 

But the path is a major foot flow & we lost a sizable similar branch last year.
