    Ihave got grifola frondosa growing on Quercus robur slightly away from the trunk so it is growing off a main root, this is the second year this 300 year old oak has had this fungi. Do any of you exsperts have any exsperience of the decay of this fungi. ps bear in mind a ex is a hasbeen and a spert is a drip under presure.

    I like trees and they like me and when i fell one i take a short time to reflect on the life it has lived.

    The picture of the hollow beech would you say that had a lightning strike and it ran down the tube burning as it went to the ground ? i cut up an old fallen ash today and it was also black inside and stags in the butt.

    Same here andy the times i have fell in a rabbit hole just think what if i had not put the chain brake on.Last year i went to the AA fair and i would never have believed how many people i saw with chainsaw injurys, we can all learn from this which is good but it is even better if it had not hapened.

    Many thanks david that is it welldone. arbtalk has come up trumps again. i wonder if you know what sort of decay is it a brown rot brittle and cubical?

    Yes steve it was that oak got the high boughs off and dressed the trunk then i cut the butt i used an old chain but still didnt like the flints the root ball came down with a bang but it was a little nervy when the trunk was wider than i am tall:scared1:now i just need to ring it up not it would not be much good for timber most of the trunk is split in two halves.

    About two years ago i had a fungus at the base of a turkey oak and the only thing it could be was as above this year it is back again. Has any one seen sparassis crispa on a broadleaved tree as they should be on conifers this said there are pines near bye. thanks for any info:001_smile:

    Yes i have had both on the same tree before.Alsotoday i was driving down the avenue and spotted fistulina about 6 feet up the stem then after lunch i saw some more about 10 feet up the stem, then when i was coming home i spotted anouther one on a pollarded oak roadside growing on the goblet, so after saying i have never seen fistulina above the butt i have now seen several fungi have all gone barmy:001_smile:

    ditto as long as trees are safe keep them going as long as posible and let habitat live in harmony with the trees. By being over tidy we wipe out beetles like the violet click beetle:001_smile:
