Interesting Biomechanics

The tiered callousing in the second shot is fantastic Steve, what a great find

 

 

Who's land is it on?

Its in a public area which is pretty busy....what your thoughts with dealing with the management of such a tree?

I feel for the guy who fells that when fully occluded!

 

Its actualy probably a good thing, claus reccomends gabions filled with rock inside large cavities as a fill, if nothing else it would stop those little scrotes burning them out. We lost a nice vet beech at Whippendell last year to Pyromaniac kids

A few from my beloved Whippendell, home to many a fine warrior and more fungi than you can shake a stick at. This little wood has been teaching me for over 15 years, i probably learn more in there in one day than in a life time spent in books:thumbup1:

 

How many welds can you spot?

Love thy nieghbour! pretty self explanetery really, one oaks propped itsef up on a nieghbour started to weld then the nieghbour probably shed its support by absscision and the overly long, but thin, branch failed, teach him to be a lazy toad!

Liking the forth shot (split out multistem) the most.

 

Either or both Gano a's in attendance?

I have a little theory about that david! this is in a stand of trees, and i suspect, due to seeing fruit bodies in one that all these have P. aurivella, and equaly certain ther is some "defence" of teritory going on, not a sniff of gano anywhere near this group, not even a wiff!

 

but rampant elswhere in the woods

[David Humphries]

Very interesting, noticed anything along these lines with these species at other sites?

Yes, ashridge, if you or anyone reading this find Pholiota aurivella and Ganodermas in close contact let me know! I guess there will be the odd one but this is a trend for sure.

 

could turn out to be utter ruhbarb of course!

A fine bit of inosculationationing
