    your driving next time, thats better than mine!
  2. RobArb
    yup thats the one:thumbup: and danavan, it'll be a database of everything related to tree ID and dendrology (eventually), not just leaves:biggrin:
  3. RobArb
    Yes, I suppose that post did sound negative and it want supposed to be, mush.misc is a very good read:thumbup: And I find the AA guide very handy indeed, it lives in my work/butty bag and pops out quite regularly at the moment:biggrin: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    Oh and I am putting my own leaf collection together, the plan is that they'll go in my database eventually:biggrin: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    Its an actual book, called the big book of leaves, its got about 600 species in there with just leaves and descriptions of leaves, its good for the more obscure ID queries you may come across. I forget who the author is I'll have a look when I get in Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    Mushroom miscellany is more facts, stories and photographs all compiled together rather that an ID guide. Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    What I must also say is trees can vary within species due to climatic conditions and I'm not 100% correct but 90% sure:biggrin: Its only possible to make an educated guess from a few pictures Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    I find Alan Mitchells Books very good especially the 1974 trees of britain and europe edition, i also have Owen Johnsons Tree Guide published by collins(2004) i also have a great big book of leaves, horticulture encyclopedia's and a few othe collins and oxford Tree ID books, I am also doing my dendrology module at Uni so everything is fresh in the memory The difference here between the two (green/red and white ash)(Green ash/red ash is the same tree different continent common name) or "splitters" is the colour of the shoot, the bud and the winged/unwinged leaflet stalks thats how i came up with F. pennsylvanica:thumbup:
  10. RobArb
    yup, even though i feel my niche is taxonomy/dendrology i do like a good fung:thumbup: plus i need to know them and the association with different tree species within their TSSE (copyright) for my Tree ID Database:cool: And you'll be showing me round ashridge next year:biggrin:
  11. RobArb
    nope scrap that, your instincts where right, its a Red Ash (Green Ash), Fraxinus pennsylvanica
  12. RobArb

    I heard about a so called expert going in a foray with a fe friends and tasting some mushrooms, I'm sure it was false chanterelles they ate, one died and one feel into a coma! Can't remember when and where I heard the story though? Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    David, as part of my leaf collection I have been noticing acorn fruit on a variety of oaks 'oop ere' and have noticed quite a few Q. patreae's with large stalks and healthy larger looking acorns, whereas we're having woodsy I would say is a normal year for the Q. roburs Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    And that was supposed to say cat amongst the pigeons! Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  24. RobArb
    So then, I'm going to throw the cart amongst the portions now... AOD, an actual condition... Or, something that already existed in another form that we've redefined, e.g. armillaria colonisation/cankers/environmental conditions.. A clear definition would be nice Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    Only just seen this, I knew that was a shear bomb:thumbup: I could've even told you it was healing, as I've been caught out before on that one! Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
