Interesting Biomechanics

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

the gano is shrinking (diminishing resources) iether decay is almost complete in the case of australe, or in case of applanatum has been compartmentalised and walled off after it has consumed the wood made dysfunctional by the large wound on its side (see occlusions)

last pic in post 565 shows fruit body diminishing then expanding again, this may be australe showing (by its sudden re expansion) penetration of barriers which it is MORE than capable of, an aggressive mode switching fungi the australe.

 

when I have my scope I will offer free idents to sort out the issues we all face on diagnostic and prognosis on these two

thanks, with the use of the scope for IDing these two what are you looking for? size of pores?

yes

 

spores are amazing things really, not that different from pollen, they all have thier own shapes, colours, some are wierd!

a few more, branch swallowed by neighbouring tree creating bridge / strut, detail on ground,

I'd imagine the pressure of the tension & compression of this cross beam must be pretty intense.

nice angles though!

yeah though having thought about it the angle is not a shear kill, but prime for a hazard split/beam if it did get too big a pull.

 

cool bridge though, takes the pressure of us when assesing bifurcations wot wot:001_smile:
