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

I think that's a good idea Stuart, sounds feasible, especially with the rooting powder. It'll be an interesting experiment anyway. I've noticed the new shoots coming from the cambium roll around the top of the cut stem as well on Poplars.

Found these at the base of a birch. I am thinking Coprinus family but probably wrong.... Pretty sure they aren't in the Arborist Field Guide. Cheers Jan. IMG_20181109_095211.jpegIMG_20181109_095221.jpeg

Yes look like one of the ink caps, possibly C. micaceus. Not in the old AA Fungi on Trees: Arborists Field Guide, as that only focused on 20 or so of the principal tree fungi associations.

Hi David, thanks for that. I hoped I was right. Are they harmful to trees, saw some on a sycamore with significant surrounding features/targets as well. Jan.

Saprophytic species feeding on dysfunctional and dead wood volumes, in this case possibly an area of a root girdle, or dead stem section or dead roots. Perhaps worth considering excavating around the fruit body site to find out what's happening.
