    Hi Guys, you know those old scraps we sling day in day out to the fire pile! the slim bits of plank with the bark left on..... Well I need a load about 20 lengths upto about 9ft long and 1-2ft wide if possible, any species will do preferably larch and all one species if possible. willing to pay for them and need them ASAP Herts area but willing to travel. tony 07746866403:thumbup1:

    I used to, till it got to the serious leugue, was no fun then way too serious
  3. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    no, but then it is a first cut, I persist, maintain a little faith, there is at least one board in that tree that will pay handsomely for the work in getting her free fromthe hulk. Yes, it was a nice tree, but it will also get to live on in some way too

    the discussion really should be why are we all climbers and groundies alike on the same ball park figure as 10 years ago?
  5. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Thats a great comment, and rather telling.... I loved the piece too, some folk cant see the wood for the tree

    I must be losing my touch normaly recognise my own images, been doing this too long I guess, there is so many thousands of imagesout in the ether now! Its all good, fungi are now a big subject in arboriculture, discussed as if they was never out of the frame. I am on the next mission now!

    thats so true, last job
  8. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    not really getting the resolution to tell, are we looking at the pore layer?
  9. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    this one is unusual in old blighty, its lentinus tigrinus, down as a polypore in ryvardens but gilled, low records associated too. good show:thumbup1:

    you wouldnt get a hiab to the timber im moving:thumbup1: A landy and a trailer is the only way out for the kind of wood im saving from the wood burner
  20. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    if its just nails mill on through em! lots of pip in that there Oak. I could turn a buck or two on that
  21. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    yes, but these things are also exagerated by that being the only area of active growth in an otherwise dysfunctional area
  22. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    i would pay a 100 if it could be milled onsite, bottom 20ft
  23. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    I think your not far off the mark, certainly in my experience there is anecdotal evidence to suggest maybe genotypes having one mode or the other. Its like say Amanitas giving up thier saprotrophic capacities to focus on myco only, maybe many species are in transitions. There is a lot of science backing that idea up directly and indirectly, like Stamets finding some forms of Grifola to be impossible to grow on sawdust media while othersflorished.

    easy peazey lemon sqeezey G. applanatum
  25. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    if you look back in this thread Ben Ballard talks of burried beech stumps fruiting heavy for upto 8 years, suggesting a very capable saprotroph. I would not want to replant a site with prone species, especialy Beech.
