Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....

Armillaria likes weak trees

 

Certain species of Armillaria also like dead wood.

 

Get rid of any dead stumps/branches.

 

What purpose do the hornbeams serve?

 

 

.

 

At a guess they were probably originally planted as boundary/wind brakes to a working farm as we back onto what is now a recreational field and the tree run across the bottom of the gardens in our road. So now they are our garden trees I would like to retain them as long as I can. I am concerned about dog walkers walking underneath the sun scorched branches that overhang the path the other side of our garden.

There isn't any dead wood just squirrel damaged bark and now the sun scorch on some branches. If I remove these I feel I will cause further damage to the tree next to it due to sun scorch.

would like to do what I can to stop any armillaria infection

 

Sorry if that's badly written its a difficult one to explain

May have found a rare one this afternoon whilst out with the dogs:thumbup:. According to Rogers Mushrooms Hygrocybe langei is rare. Can you guys and gals confirm that the fungi looks like the same fungi in the link? I think it does but just want another opinion.

Sadly not david. I was looking for it again today but couldn't see it so its either been flattened by a dog or munched by slugs.

Found these beauties on my travels at the weekend, had a flick through the fungi app but not managed an id yet. Gonna get the books out next weekend unless anyone knows it?

 

Beautiful opaque flesh, bluey/ aquamarine colour. I'm starting to get into this fung hunting!
