Is that the famous meripilus?

[Stephen Blair]

will the last person who removed those limbs be held responsible??

[Steve Bullman]

ganoderma and polyporous squamosus

[David oakman]

I spotted polyporus growing out of a pruning cut on a beech this morning which is bad news for the tree if the tennants spot it because they have been wanting it down for years:001_smile:

[Tom D]

Sometimes Polyporus can feed on the redundant wood left after a breakout or pruning wound and leave the live timber intact, especially if the wound eventually closes. But the gano is definately bad news.
