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

 

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!

Wouldn't question your ability to advocate for the great horned one for a single minute

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
