Delicate dismantle of Poplar, on a slope, leaning over a building, hosting Armilaria & Perrenioporia fraxinia

The pathology bit......

 

 

It reads to me, that the tension roots on the down slope have become compromissed due to force load.

Armilaria, (mycelium in 3rd Pic, no rhizomorphs as yet) has attacked said stressed Tree.

Then, Prennioporia has jumped on board this little merry little myco-go-round and is now chomping away at the basal zone and roots of this poor victim, hence the decling canopy.

 

Boy did it wobble.

 

When I've got a back log of decompaction tasks, I will nip back and airspade the root plate to have a look at the state of decay around the rootplate, and post up the pictures.

Excellent, no room for any kind of error with that building being so close, did you pre-tension the line before lowering those blocks and is that silver pulley a CMI?

 

Oh and is that a rescue line in the tree?

Pre-tensioned - yes, I'm pretty sure it is a CMI & yes, rescue line in Tree at all times apart from the last section of pole.

 

Thanks Carl

Excellant set of Photos Mr H. Be interested to see the state of the rootplate when you get back to it.

Good job, pictures and videos!....ok I am still getting Rigidoporus and Perennipora confused?? I thought Perenniporia has same colour flesh when cut through...where as Rigidoporus has white flesh with orange/cinnamon coloured spore layer like in your photos?... see my attached pictures of this fungus found on a chestnut 2.5 metres above the ground? Cheers steve
