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

[Arborowen]

Went to see two very sad beeches today. From my efforts I can see kretchmaria and meripilus doing their thing but not sure of the biscuity brown radially fin-like thing? And a little grey fella Possibly saprophytes cleaning up after the bad boys?

 

Your thoughts welcomed

Just dawned on me it's probably more meripilus! Lol

Thanks Coleman.

!! if its red data listed should I think about clever conservation things todo like dig up up the infected roots and plant them in a beech wood :-D

 

If it is what you say it backs up the above ground evidence of significant root decay.

 

shame really, the chap who spotted it after showing us insisted on having his lunch underneath it in his van.... wasnt really sure he got the "its really windy dont park here!" vibe i was giving off! what will be will be :-D

 

Pending client acceptance of the quote I've already liaised with the tree officer to remove them as both TPOd. ill see if i can get some cross cut photos of the stem of the one with Kretchmaria. Fairly sure the only thing keeping them upright is a square weight!

 

All in all quite an interesting day compared to hedges :-S

Awesome shots! is that a randomer? or the owner? tree seemed to be getting along ok without roots :-D maybe they're over rated?

Randomer? Not the owner, just enjoy the thread.

couldn't get a decent close up due to lack of decent lens and too much foliage in the foreground.

 

Imagine that they are the velvet shank - Flammulina velutipes , open to other ideas?
