Hi there.

Pretty new to this game, just been through my tickets and doing some ground work and a bit of climbing. been asked to look at a tree for some one i know, found this at the base. Been trying to ID it online, Is this Kretzschmaria deusta? I do hope not as have heard pretty horrible stories about it.

thanks

its on a very large beech tree by the way. 100ft+

[rupert w]

yes it is

[danmasterman]

does this tree need to come down ASAP then? Is this a developed stage of the fungi or is it an early sign? Thanks

I beleave that's the endorphic stage (early)

[rupert w]

Where is the tree? but IME can be very unpredictable.If it is in the wrong place then possibly should come down but too many variables for me to make that judgement,hello tree.

tree is in a large garden, approx 50ft from the house and 30ft from a large shed/workshop. Is the best process to get a tree officer to come and have a look to gauge it?

[rupert w]

Really need more info details etc. as regarding TO that would also depend on another set of variables.sorry not being more helpful.

If it comes under tpo or conservation area regs, then the tree officer will come and look at it AFTER you have applied for appropriate works to the relevant standards.

anamorphic, not sexual not a matter of late nor early, the two forms often appear together:thumbup:
