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

That oak has really been on the booze. So much so that's now impersonating a Bud bottle.

Not entirely with you on this one Chris, but then I'm just opening my second bottle of riocha

The body is a temple, so never would it be desecrated with Budweiser. I'm sure this oak is more upper-class with its selection of alcohol. Perhaps it's got too drunk and now thinks it's ivy, instead.

 

In other news, that's a cracking butt on that oak.

Out on a walk today with the kids and spotted this, I think it might be a ganoderma, funny thing was a lot of tree work had taken place along this part of the avenue including an oak of a similar size had been felled next to it, but no one seemed to have noticed this ash with the fungi and large crack running up to a massive first branch. Or maybe they did and its planned to have work done to it

Looks like Gano. Nice buttressing on that last image.

Is that the tree reacting to the fungi?

[Kveldssanger]

Perhaps in part, as it's a selective white rot induced by the mycelium.
