David i get grifola frondosa every year but none so far. I find it comes up after a good rain but here in suffolk we are bone dry i wonder if this could be playing a part in not fruiting?

Interesting observation David, but it's been fairly dry here in North London too, plus were pretty much on well draining bagshot sands.

Especially in the area around that particular Oak with the Grifola on.

 

 

What's your part of Suffolks underlying geology like?

We are on the london boulder clay:lol:The soil is also mostly clay one spit of a shovel and you have clay but this is what oak trees like and beech dont but i have got a few beech. Eight years ago the agent here bought 100 10 foot tall oak trees from devon they were grown on sandy soil they all died. Since then i have been growing my own and transplanting saplings and they have all survived the right tree in the right soil:thumbup1:
