Not that I have been involved in. There's an enormous one near me that's had merip for 6 or 7 years i drive past regularly,crown still seems very healthy

Think it's Meripilus. No host tho!

 

Guess there must be part of a stump left underground but I've known the site for 11 years without any tree there.

Could quite easily be on the roots of existing trees just out of shot

 

What are they?

I think that that part of the avenue are all young-ish Lime trees.

On an old beech stump in my yard! Elder growing in amongst it all....

Roadside oak I've just noticed

[gibbon]

You sure that's not ganoderma resinaceum rob?

[RobArb]

Positive:biggrin:

 

Is an early forming fruiting body of merip. It's at the end of my mum and dads Road so I'll go past in a week to see if it's still there and grown

An update on this

 

Head gardener confirmed that a Beech tree was taken down there about 10 years ago. The Meripilus has been popping up for the last two years.
