Perenniporia fraxinea maybe?

[Mesterh]

Out of interest, what would you fellas recommend in this situation given the targets?

[Linda]

I reckon the flesh is too dark to be Perenniporia. Here's a P. fraxinea for sure, note the creamy coloured flesh, not dark cinnamon brown as in the pics above:

Have you considered Phellinus tuberculoses. I found one on a beech 2 months ago.

[Will Hinchliffe]

Sorry its P.pomaceus no longer P.tuberculoses.

 

The tubes should be about 2mm and layered but the flesh colour is bang on.

 

Difficult to tell from the photo.

I'd go with Phellinus until proven differently...

Cheers for the extra info:thumbup1:

Unfortunately I wont be going back there since someone else has already started the job (and doing a very bad job at it I may add )

 

Well I say started but they may have finished for all I know, didnt do what the spec asked for

Never know though they might be back to repair the damaged property, remove the stubs they left, finish dead wooding trees they had started and removing wood chip and twigs scattered about the footpath, road and park.

Although I dont think there is much they can do to the tree they ring barked while trying to remove some ivy!
