RPA for standing dead trees?

Got the aerial camera up there today, not as good as I'd hoped because of gusty wind and low sun but a good practice run. Couldn't upload the movie file direct from Mac as a .mov file so sent over to youtube (hope this link works:

Link works

 

Have to say that it's a unique but infuriating way to try and get a positive I'd

 

Good effort though

 

Just as I tried to focus on one set of brackets the copter decides to go up or down.

 

Funnily enough we've thought of about this as a way to inspect London planes with Masaria

Having doubts about that now

 

I still can't really tell for sure what these are, the profile looks too thin and squashed for the hoof fungus (Fomes fomentarius) so still sticking with the Ganoderma thinking

 

What do you reckon ?

I feel a bit seasick after watching that. Coud have done with an early floyd soundtrack.

It was tricky with the gusty wind and low sun. I'll try and get a morning shot at the weekend which should be better for camera and (hopefully) confirm old Ganoderma rather than FF - just an element of doubt regarding the height up the stem though.

With respect to Mr H's opinion in caution, no element of doubt in my mind that these brackets are not Fomes.

 

I am curious about whether the side-profile of a perennial bracket is symptomatic of its decay (sub) strategy, but that's one for another day or another thread. On the (side) face of it, though, your brackets just don't seem to tick the Fomes box.
