    Ganoderma adspersum. Picture 1 an old bracket as you can see the tiny bracket on the bottom is this years so the fungi is running out of food. Picture 2 new ganoderma adspersum now starting to fruit in the flare of a buttress.

    I need to make some signs to go around my ancient oak trees. I was thinking along the lines of ANCIENT TREES PLEASE LOOK FROM A DISTANCE. Have you seen any such signs or have you any ideas of wording you must be polite but to the point. many thanks david.

    This winter i cut down blackthorn hawthorn and cleaned ivy off the oak trees at the local school then the ditch was cleaned out which for most of the year is a dry ditch. It runs alongside the road leading to the school. I was there yesterday to fell anouther tree and the head told me at a meeting the HSE has told the school they must put a fence up along the legth of the ditch. Madness it is a different world now to the one i grew up in we used to play in field and ditches old barns stubble fights ect ect. This also reminds me of the story of the yew hedge around a playground which had to be cut down in case children eat any of it.

    Firstly i was glad he thinks the same way as us and agrees that trees can live a long life. Don't cut them down for no reason but look after them and pass them on for generations of people to look at. Also it was the first time i have heard anyone use SULE which was good. Did he talk to you about ted greens dead cats ha ha.
