Yet more none OPM found when out surveying for them. I'm so easily distracted .

 

Inonotus dryaedus on Quercus ilex - Holm oak. The close ups show the gutation which helps dry out the wood and provides a better growing enviroment. I haven't been able to find much information about it's signifigance, so perhaps someone here can educate me?

Haven't seen any failures with it myself, (supposedly rare) but you probably already know from Mattheck & Lonsdale that its a de-lignifying white rot, and usualy begins within the heart of the root system sometimes extending up the trunk a meter or so.

 

Guess that's why you can find hosts with pronounced butress flair.

 

 

Very nice shots

I would love to find Inonotus on an Q ilex!

 

just the old Q. Roburs for me, havent even seen it on a sessile yet.

A couple from a hedgerow Ash tree I looked at today...

[David Humphries]

Perennioporia Simon.

 

Is it a pollard?

 

Is it coming down or being reduced ?

 

Or just a random look at it ?

i found some inonotus today on ash right from bottom to the top if you remove the main part of the crown do you think you could keep tree for wild life is it normally branches that split

Saw your thread earlier Andrew.

 

The key is dependent on what the targets are around the tree?

I tought it was spelt Perenniporia?

 

It currently has a full crown, the client has requested advise on future management, I have recommended a minimum reduction of 50% - if retained. (There is a large verge to one side and field to the other and no other targets in close proximity once reduced)

 

What are your thoughts on this Fungi David?
