Fungal colonisation strategies?

[Gary Prentice]

Wouldn't an arb school library have these on the shelf!

 

The 2nd Schwarze book retails at $200USD, but I agree w gaz re Strategies for your purpose. not 100 pounds; http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fungal-Strategies-Wood-Decay-Trees/dp/3540672052

 

you could search here for a start Arboriculture & Urban Forestry Online

 

I love the ISA link you posted - I have it on my favourites bar and it's priceless researching for assignments:thumbup1:

Were the rarer Mattheck or Schwarze books available on Kindle I'd invest but I cannot find them through Amazon! I'm lacking about 8 key books in total but the cost of those 8 is close to £1,000 and I have done an extensive search online. Unfortunately up North I'm not near to an arb library unless I venture to Askham Bryan, York which i simply don't have time to do unfortunately.

 

So as much as it pains me I'm going to list the fungi that I need to know the 'colonisation strategy' for. This, according to Rayner (1993) Arb. J. 17 pp 171-189; is split into 1) heartrot strategies, 2) colonisation of exposed sapwood: unspecialized opportunism, 3) colonisation of intact sapwood; specialised opportunism, 4) active pathogenesis or 5) colonisation of dead standing trunks; desiccation tolerance.

 

The fungi species are as follows:

1) Inonotus dryadeus (oak bracket)

2) Inonotus radiatus

3) Ustulina deusta

4) Laetiporus sulphureous (chicken-of-the-woods

5) Pleurotus ostreatus (Oyster mushroom)

6) Ganoderma applanatum (artists’ fungus)

7) Phaeolus schweinitzii (Dyer’s mazegill)

8) Meripilus giganteus (giant polypore)

9) Bjerkandera adusta (smoky bracket)

10) Polyporus squamosus (Dryad’s saddle)

11) Ganoderma resinaceum

12) Ganoderma lucidum (varnish fungus)

13) Daedalea quercina (Maze-gill)

14) Phellinus igniarius

15) Sparassis crispa (Cauliflower fungus)

16) Pholiota squarrosae

17) Rigidoporus ulmarius

 

Whilst I have bountiful information about these, and other fungi, I can't find the literature or website that definitively gives the distinct 'colonisation strategy' for these species. if anyone knows of such a resource then please point me to the oracle; as long as it's not a rare £100+ dusty cover.

Many many thanks Paul much appreciated

Thanks for that Word file Paul. For anyone else who knows the ;colonisation strategy' of the remaining ones not in the file; any assistance would be much appreciated

£36 squid..... A book you'll use after PTI if that's what it's for, or just take notes during the course???

 

I tried this link and failed to see a £36 price but a £70.71 at cheapest or £100 used on your link?

[kevinjohnsonmbe]

That's a bit bonkers! I just tried it, £38 new, £26 used (that was on iPhone)

 

I'll have a look later see if I can find the missing details

Just referencing I. hispidus on this list with F. Swarze fungal stratergies book and I am getting that it is more of a sapwood exposed colonisation stratergy?

what do you think Paul.

Maybe enters through 'fresh wounds', ie. as with sapwood exposed, but I understand it to be heartwood coloniser...as Tony says.

 

cheers..
