Rigidoporus ulmarius

Apologies, perhaps I should of listed every single species of tree I so far documented it on and conversely every single species of tree I haven't seen it on, in the name of balanced perspective of course

You can stick your tongue out and mock all you like but you know as well as I do tree hosting can make a lot of difference to decay progression.

sorry sent it on the I phone I will turn the pic round

I think by looking at some of the pic on this post this could be Rigidoporus ulmarius

I no the last pic is not relevant to Rigidoporus ulmarius but though it looked interesting

Horse chestnut hosting the brown rot of R. ulmarius

 

Resistograph readings taken at 25cm height at cardinal points.

 

The dbh = 1080mm taken at 1.5m

 

Readings suggest that the tree is coping with the associated heart wood decay & has a sound residual wall of between 24 & 36cm.

 

The sound wood is well over a third of the radius of the tree, not even taking into consideration that it has had a significant reduction in the past.

 

We shall continue to monitor.........
