Xerxses

Original tree grows smack in the middle of work and home! (or at least a cutting from the mothertree that was found 1761 or somfing on the same location) So your guess was the swedish variety instead of the more common 'Crispa'?

Ok, you asked for it! What this?

I dont own the pictures and therefore cant post them on a public forum... PM sent.

In some pics i have. It would be interesting to have a second opinion on them.

Cheers guys! So anyone confident in having a look and tell me what they see?

Anyone used one? Experience in reading the pictures...? Have you compared the pictures to reality after felling a tree that has been inspected with a Tomograph? Reliability? Feedback is welcome!

I think we all have had Discolegs at some point...

Indeed! Some thought has been put into that one...!

Speechless...

No, to help you, to know where to go...

Why not pull the Guy Fawkes card... Burn on site?

More colours!

Im not sure sure which one it is... Help! ;-)

Yeah back in September... got hidden amongst 400 pics of fung...

Forgot to post that one.... I thought it was great, and as you says it catches the publics eye and make people think.

I meant Pholiota squarossa. My first on oak, but also on Salix alba, Sorbus intermedia and rowan. All new apperances this year (mast year?) How bad should I sleep at night?

And here butterflies experiencing a 80% decline in the last 10 years...

I know what you are saying... still trying to get my head 'round most fungs... Pholiotas are EVERYWHERE this year! Not quite sure about implications, rotting speed and so on. Thoughts?

That was my impression but couldnt quite belive it, the fb.s are 30cm diameter!!!

Thanks Gerrit:thumbup: Thelephora caryophylla is the prettiest thing ever... Never seen that! Spruceforest in Värmland?

So finally a Clinker then? Pipto and Fomes on the same tree here is not uncommon...

Ganoderma lipsiense is the preferred name in Sweden. What about the oak one? I´havent come across anything like it before... its my Iphone standing on top of them!

I do First AID update at least once a year (at work or volunteer civil defence). My brother is a doctor and has served in Afghanistan on several missions and pretty good at dealing with nasty wounds, I will keep the Celox in my pocket..... (Brother approved) Over the years I have done pretty hardcore training, real life type accidents -car chrashes etc... but I have done the odd bandaid thing too:blushing: I find this really relaxing, I´m pretty confident that I can deal with most situations. I know that I´m not a paramedic, and no one expects me to be one. I just dont want the experience once again to watch someone dying and not knowing what to do, as I did when I was 13. I have been involved at car crashes and other lifethreathening situations and probably saved someones life on several occasions. In our trade there should be a relevant training that teaches us to deal with our specific situations. We all know that if (when) we have accidents at our sites its gonna be nasty.... I´m not talking silkycuts here... Hang trauma, sudden ground impact situations, deep cuts, skull or bone fractures, severe bloodloss, major burns etc. We all should be prepered for this! (I have access to 4 defibrillators (yes I am trained in using them) at work, placed at the diffrent departments spread around town and know of 4 more situated in the mall or in two big supermarkets in different locations. In an emergency I might be quicker then the Ambulance in getting one...)

At the base of an oak...

Circle of renewal...
