Hamadryad- trees, ecology & FUNGI!

[APC]

not the best way apparently, in fact thats how the peasants got theirs AFTER the chiefs had got theirs the PROPER way:biggrin:

 

I was about to say I don't think I have the stomach for "the proper way" but then it would seem I'm discussing having the stomach for reindeer wee.

how big was the trunk?.

 

no more than 18" diameter, and very dead and ivy covered for what looked like some time, I.e decade at least, and the fungi very much happy and alive. Although the tree had blown over at the root, suggesting its a very capable saprotroph, the question now is how far up the necrotrophic scale is it?

Well, I got me new wagon and im loving it, never thought I would be a landrover head but its addictive! she is a dodgy colour but thats not going to last long!

 

But my main reason for posting today was the regrowth on this supposed monolith I did 2 seasons or three back. I had very little budding to leave but felt certain if i could work around these buds I could initiate a recovery. I am not kidding you when I say there was less than 20-30 live buds and it didnt look like this at all when done!

 

I will try to dig out the other photos... but suffice to say, once again, on point!
