Found on Hornbeam a couple of days ago.....

[janey]

That's HUGE! Where is it?

[sean]

Richmond park.....fantastic isnt it? Love the way the upper surface of the fruiting body and the trunk of tree are starting to look the same

[David Humphries]

That's a mightily impressive bracket.

 

Supprised it's not been kicked off.

Is it in an enclosure Sean?

 

Is that also a bracket at the base of the Tree on the rhs in picture 2 ?

 

 

 

Although here on Beech & a little smaller, yours and this one are very similar in size and form.

No its not in an enclosure David. This tree is riddled with the stuff. It is on a footpath and horse track. It is now down for a 15% crown reduction on the new safety list (bloody safety lists...its a wild park.....put a huge disclaimer up at the entrance gates!)
