I have not seen Ganodera on an ash, not saying that it dosnt. last week i had a large ash fall over a public footpath large brackets of polyporus all wood a butt soft. also isaw a horse chestnut in a churchyard topped for safety reasons the following year all cuts had large brackets of polyporus. where i work Ganoderma seems to be in small areas, but last year i had Ganoderma Resanacium appear but where did that come from as that is the only one. fungal spores how far do they travel who knows? I have mostly oak and the oak does stop ganoderma and survive,sorry imust point out i mean english oak, red oaks no go the ganoderma spreads from the butt and climbs up to a meter high by that time the tree is pulp.

Decay extent of Inonotus hispidus on Malus
David oakman replied to David Humphries's topic in Fungi Pictures
Brill pictures. as i said yesterday i have a red oak with inonoteus dryadeus and ganoderma on the same tree did the mallet check and it is soft all round the butt and buttresses. also several trees with inonoteus hispidus unfortuantely a historic tree which must not be felled plus the barn owl would not like it.soon be time for the grifola and the fistulina. -

Official "Yank'" Picture Thread
David oakman replied to GASoline71's topic in International Arborist Forum
Also i find this very interesting safety in outher countries i do find this country alittle over the top at times, and when you go to spain and watch the builders oh my goodness. personal safety in this country seems to be more paper work. I would like to hear more from our arb cousins across the water:001_cool: -
