hi all been a while since ive been on here but ive stumbled accross somthing new to me....

 

veiwed a horse chestnut tonight which has a light brown,discharge seeping from the cambium around 8ft from the ground.Its a very light brown colour and seems to have a lumpy consistency,almost looks like cous cous!!

Ideas as im stumped!

the tree has a couple of other ailments,major damage to main trunk,possible digger strike in previous years gone by,plus either leaf minor or guignardia but not too sure on that either but probs the 1st option is more probable.

 

help please chaps will try to pop back tommorrow for a few pics.

hi Dan,

 

no its not bleeding canker,infact it has no signs of that anywhere,

its a lot lighter in colour and is almost like a paste to touch,mushy with tiny round bits in it that are a paler cream colour,

The best way to describe it is as cous cous in texture!

got me totally stumped!

Thanks for help all the same Dan

Did it have an odour, was it frothy? If not was it gelatinous, slimy, fairly dry? Could it have been a Fuligo spp (candida?) or similar? Check Google for images, or it may be in the fungi directory?
