    Hi Jack,

    Another way of getting into Private Message is to go to home page ... near the top of that will be a heading 'User CP' with your name on etc and under that should be a Private Messages heading click on that and then the control panel comes up and from there you can send a new private message I'll try and send you one now

    Jack,

    If you look on the top righat hand corner where it says Welcome, Jack O'Brien do you have a list of stuff? you should have Private messages under your name click on that and once you have you shuld have a control panel on the left hand side of the screen from there you can send private messages

    Not sure but if this quote is referring to the thread which i contributed to with records of a Beech with Meripilus going back 10 years or so, then the assumption that the tree had been 'dug up more times than you can count' is wrong ...it had only had one section of the root plate air spaded once only .... just to put the record straight.

    More info on the Beech I mentioned earlier and Monkeyd kindly posted photos of the beech in question; We are lucky enough to have a local fungi enthusiast who has been surveying our wood since 1996. The following dates are from her records. Meripilus was seen on the Beech: 1996 - 10 Jan / 11 Dec 1997 - 3 Oct / 19/ Dec 1998 - 25 Jul / 4 Oct / 17 Oct 1999 - 6 Aug / 3 Sept / 19 Sept / 30 Sept 2000 - 18 Aug / 11 Oct 2002 - 29 Sep 2003 - 9 Oct 2004 - 10 Sept 2005 - 20 Aug 2006 - 29 Aug 2007 - 2 Oct It seems 2001 records have been misplaced. This year the Meripilus has failed to fruit, canopy on the tree looks fine with very little dead wood visible.

    Cheers I was going to call you and ask how you get pictures on here ???? Oh so much to learn Question : Do you think the airspade had anything to do with the absence of meripilus this year? I know it's 3 years since the airspade and I know the meripilus was there last year for sure. Thanks again Andew
  12. Rebecca Harrison
    thanks Andew for your input ... I will asking my Manager but suspect it will be in the new financial year!!!!

    Yet another fascinating thread! We have had a very large mature beech which has had meripilus recorded on it every year since at least 1996 .... in December 2005 we airspaded the roots as part of a demonstration of the equipment and I never actually found out what was found ..... Any way as a point of interest this year there has been no meripilus ...none what so ever ...canopy of tree seems pretty ok too. Really curious to know whats going on here. the other question I have is there appears to be 2 versions of meripilus..... the chunky eggy bread kind which was on the beech mentioned above and the more finer delicate type which was once described to me as 'poppadom like'. Any thoughts out there? If you would like the information I have on the Beech mentioned above, let me know ..

    This has been completely fascinating, thank you all. Over the last few years we have lost a few oaks where they have literally just fallen over, a few in high winds and rather worringly a few on clear beautiful windless days. Canopies were looking stressed and most have had Collybia fusipes for a few years at least. Collybia fusipes is very common in our wood ..... Anyway each time I've looked for more information because I began to suspect Collybia as being a factor, I drew a blank ...until now. If I have understood this right, you are not suggesting that Collybia is to 'blame' but more that it is taking advantage of already dead roots as part of the process of the roots 'life cycle'. However if I have a tree that is surrounded by Collybia fusipes then maybe I should be worried? Once again thank you all for providing really useful information and discussion.

    Just looking at it briefly ....looks like it is Ganoderma lucidum which is the only Ganoderma to grow with a stem. Nice pics

    "Been watching this developement site for a couple of years. My guess is that this Centuries old Oak will not be long for this mortal coil" Me too! It's heartbreaking to see, every time I drive past it seems to get worse!

    Fab bunch of pictures! Will see what I can come up with after all this rain!!

    Just guessing here but what about some sort of bacterial infection (and please no more thrush jokes!!!) I know some bacterial oozz (how do you spell oozz?) from trees can often smell yeasty.

    Hi Welcome to the site, I think my climbing would be even slower than yours! as i'm spending more and more time on the damed computer, but there maybe some others here willing to help you out, pretty certain I've got your card, will let them know and any private jobs I can't handle will come your way. Best of luck

    Hi, We have an Ash on site which has Inonotus on it and the old Inonotus brackets often look black/dark on the underside and much like your photos. hope that helps
  21. Rebecca Harrison
    To be honest the one of the few green fungi there is is green cup fungus. The fungus turns the wood green which was used in the past for fancy woodwork pictures/patterns etc. However the fruiting body is really very small but they are green and may well blow to green dust when old thus dispersing their spores. Hopes that helps ...... it could always be something else but there aren't many green fungi about.
  22. Rebecca Harrison
    Will do! have printed the picture off so hopefully moth man will be in soon

    Hi Great pictures!!! You taking up wildlife photography on the sly?? We've got it too and on one poor tree all the lower leaves are completely brown, not just their tunnels, there were so many in the leaves they were completely mullered (very technical term!)
  24. Rebecca Harrison
    Hi Generally if the underside of the ganoderma is dark it is no longer alive. As a previous answer said you will probably get some fresh ones growing, however if you get no more then the ganoderma has in fact been compartmentalised and has run out of suitable feeding material.

    the pay is pitiful but having met one of the arborists at Kew you do get great field trips .... places like China to collect seeds from the tops of the trees!
