Hispidus on lower trunk

[sean]

Have been to see an ash today that has many hispidus brackets. These not only occur in the crown but extend right down the trunk. New ones as well as desiccated ones. There is also a very fine group of them approx 1 Mtr from the base. I read on a post of Gerrits that hispidus never occurs on the lower half of the trunk. Has anybody else experienced this?

 

I borrowed a camera and took some fine shots but now the battery is dead so cannot upload at the moment but will do as soon as.

I have seen this on one roadside ash near me. Fruiting at ground level two years in a row. I put a post in the tis the season thread, see if I can find it...

Himmm, let me think, Hispidus on Ash !!! its not looking good, whats the target area ?

So here are some photos......extensive decay down main stem. One major scaffold already failed and on the deck. Heavy lean towards neighbouring garden. When i went to look at the job there was a family next door sitting having a bbq right underneath. Have advised not to do so until the tree is removed. Am looking forward to sectioning the trunk to see extend/journey of decay.

Nice shots sean.

 

I can't find any images of hispidus in my folders as low as those.

Usually start from about three to four meters up from my experience.

 

Will be interested in seeing the extent of the decay in the cross section

Dont fell it Sean, we need it for research, can the family move?

Very nice image sean, wouldnt be a fell in my opinion, i just dont manage hispidus on ash that way. very nice ripple formation in the dysfunctional pathway there sean, did you note it originally?

 

Heres a few low ones, last in cahoots with perenniporia fraxinea, low brackets not at all unusual in my experience
