help please ID on beech

Oohh.

 

I'll try and get a better photo this weekend; I won't be traveling past it in decent daylight until then.

 

It's in Bishops Sutton, in Hampshire by the way.

 

 

Can you try & get a wedge cut from it?

 

 

silky/pole blade perhaps?

 

Not that I would advocate attacking a privately owned tree, but I wouldn't of thought you should get any problems as its an aid to identifying a potential hazard.

 

Something like these below, but they don't need to be as neat.

david, just out of interest what makes you go for Rigidiporus as apposed to perenniporia on beech?

 

Have seen Rigi in cavities off the ground on Horse chestnut (but not on beech)

 

Memories going

 

Remembered this one on beech that I totally forgot about until I passed it earlier today.
