Perenniporia fraxinea

[David Humphries]

On beech at the coast in Cornwall, fairly surprised it's still standing.

That Perenniporia is so abundant it has even colonised the wall!

 

I wonder what the owner thinks. Do they even know?

Was going to knock on the door but we're in the middle of holiday and the boss fired a warning shot over me bow

 

 

This other beech had three more brackets (hence the reduction i guess) and was about three doors down. Further up the road there was another former beech which had been reduced and carved standing. No brackets but the remnant roots were heavily decayed.

You really are on a beech holiday.

I wouldn't want to be a beech tree down that road...

 

If you know the road email the council's TO and get them to knock at the door? Might even be a TPOd tree, as it's quite prominent.

I know this one haha. Ushered away far too many times from trees on my holiday last week (put some good ones in your sticky thread).

Should've strawpolled it there and then. Nobody can fault a man's enthusiasm for fungi!

Fair girdling of P. fraxinea around the entire base of this ash.
