Yes seen merip on oak a few times now, grifola for the first time this year. Got pics of an Oak with merip, fistulina and chicken somewhere, I'll try find it

On the buttress roots too

Some fisti from today's bat surveys

Today's job..... Bat surveys! Found a lot of fistulina, some nice cracks and crevices, a hibernating hornet.... But no bats:biggrin:

Just specify Heras fencing with CEZ signs on it. Heras is also easy to install and drawings can be made up to show how

I trained em well:001_tt2:

Pholiota squarrosa on a cherry, in the dark, found by my little ones on the way back from swimming.

Could be King Alfreds Cakes (Daldinia concentrica), but without a picture or even a tree would be a complete guess

Are you able to get hold of topo's for the surveys?

Accuweather isn't too bad, decent phone app too

agree with the others, don't think any one of us ever felt threatened. Overwhelmed perhaps (in a good way) but not threatened. In regards to the next trip, there is a facebook page called Canopy Spirit https://en-gb.facebook.com/CanopySpirit Like this, and all appropriate information and details will be no doubt posted when things are more set in stone:thumbup:

Not the clearest pics but don't rule out Phellinus ignarious (possibly:blush:)

Just seen this. Here's three from me, 2 out and about surveying and 1 of the evening sunset

Sparrasis crispa seconded Here's one I found in the forest of Dean 2 weeks ago, my first find of this

how many other species are in that booklet?

Yes, something like that i could work out growth rates from. How many other species are recorded in those yield tables and whats the exact name of the publication. Nearest i can get get on google and FC site is what used to be booklet 39, now called Forest Mensuration, growth and yield.... i think

Cheers guys, will have a looksee:thumbup:

Ok so i came back a little early but i hold my hands up and admit i need help from the arbtalk collective... I'm after tree growth rates for Uk species and the more common non Uk species (horse chestnut, norway maple etc). I know same species trees can grow quicker or slower depending on the growth conditions of the location it's in, and other factors also play a part. But, is there a generic or generalised tree growth rate anywhere in books, forestry reference notes or the like that i can get my hands on? I'm after how much height a tree puts on in a year, for example is it a slow grower or a quick grower or an average grower? I know most trees also have an S shaped growing curve in optimum conditions so trying to facter different stages of life in too like young growth rates, middle aged growth rates and mature growth rates. Do yield tables show this sort of information? Where can i get these tables like this from, and do they exist? Thanks:blushing:

Add much as I think arbtalk is worth every bit of its weight in gold (metaphorically speaking), there ain't half some numpties on here that spoil it, and I'm sure it's not just me who thinks this too... I'm not trying to flame any situation or anyone individual, but just think about what you post before you post it. I'm gonna take a break, some of you will miss me, most of you won't. But I'll be back to donate to the raffle at xmas and raise some money for the children's Trust with ticket purchase. Think before you do

Think 2 years, 2015. Think there is somewhere different in the planning for next year. Nothings finalised yet

Haha, nice signature line!

so tempting!

cool. any pics?

The article is from 2008:biggrin:
