Hahaha priorities in the right place!

 

Feel like going back just to get a photo of one of those. Not got any shots of that species of Ganoderma. Ugh!

 

Ended up getting away at 6.30PM. Eight of us stayed and went around. Saw some right crackers.

Nice one, its a great site huh !

 

Who stayed behind?

 

 

 

Have come across some very fine fungal delights across the site over the last few visits.

 

Try and get back there late summer/autumn :thumbup1:

Nice shots there. Will certainly return later on in this season and look for fungi. So many trees so plenty of fungal habitat.

 

It was me, Paul, his missus (Sally?), Ted (ATF), Jill (ATF), Caroline (ATF), Reg (ATF), the young fellow who just joined the ATF (I forget his name), the lady taking the photographs you spoke to for a while, and another gentleman. Went out looking at some of the sweet chestnut, some old oaks, some beech, and so on.

 

Indeed, a fabulous park. Once the place springs into life it'd be a form of heaven for me.

Nice ones there, David! That on the Heath?

 

Just come back from holiday in Suffolk, and paid a visit to Dunwich Forest. Amongst all the bloody planted pine are actually some proper trees, including oak, birch, and beech. I'll make my own thread on other bits and bobs, though came across a beautiful example of Kretzschmaria deusta on beech (Fagus sylvatica). I've always associated it with the butt and lowest portions of the stem (butt-stem interface, really), though this Kretz was rising to at least 2.5m up. As we can see below, the sporophores were all present within a very large stem wound - an old forestry wound, grazing wound, or tear-out? There are red deer around, for example.

 

Images below start at bottom and work up. Didn't get the very top of the wound as the missus was calling me away as she saw four red deer, and then I saw more Kretz and other cool bits.
