The blue/damaged area does look large but to play devils advocate for a minute... :D

 

I notice that the sensors appear to be positioned at equal intervals, were the distances between them measured?

 

Also, the sensor positions depict a perfect circle - was the stem more or less equally circular in cross section?

 

I only ask because subtle differences like that can throw off the self calibration of the PICUS and give different readings. Having said that, I doubt there would be much difference - worth knowing in borderline cases though.

 

We'll see when the rings come down!

What's your thoughts on the bracket Tony?

 

From the safety and comfort of my swivelly chair within my office high up in my Ivory tower.. I say Ganoderma spp.

 

As you say - looks too flat for a Fomes. Waaaayy too flat. Though from memory I think Lonsdale says something about a flatter form on Fagus...

 

More of an issue if it is Fomes I suppose, different white rot to Ganoderma with a more brittle fracture IIRC, one of those decisions where the ID is more critical than it seems.

 

A slice would be nice :D
