    Yes, indeed, this subject is worthy of a good read up and was planning to do a bit later myself:thumbup1:

    They do frequent the same environment? well yes and no, Inonotus dryadeus tends to be more prevalent in the open pasture style habitat, as opposed to the Fistulina/colybia interaction which tends to dominate the forest sytem. Not a black and white situation but enough IME to say that it is significantly different, how so and why is yet a mystery, it may be light and stress related, but we shall see.

    Like your images I am not talking about in seperate portions of the tree system, I have found that on a fairly frequent basis, the tree is after all a compartmented system. This one is unique in my studies as it is fruting from within the same point of exit as the Inonotus dryadeus, which leads to another interesting question to study. The case book and basis of the paper and its complexity is getting very nicely refined. really starting to get this thing together now, cant wait to get into a lab! Thanks Adam, your a little star:thumbup1:

    The Theology Oak, good memory rob:001_smile: I. dryadeus has been fruiting well and consistantly from this Oak for the last five years, although its adapting to the decay and I am happy with vigour/vitality the fruiting is for me a little exuberant and Im going to write to them and recommend a second stage reduction is brought forward. Its owned by the London School of Theology, No I have not found as yet that dual association, if I did I would have a great more concern for this tree and be looking to alternatives.

    ive no idea at the mo, got the books out and having a look, he is a handsome beast! found another in another Oak so guessing thats the habitat preference sorted too! Racking up the sites under my belt! getting into all the private ones these days by invitation, I love my job!

    Early start and a brand new site to visit, dawn in Wiltshire, and a bunch of awesometrees and fungi the final image one of extreme rarity and ive hunted for years, Gerrit, if your looking the last is for you, and it was not the only tree on this site either. One more peice of the jigsaw falls into place. Yes the last image is fistulina hepatica fruiting from behind last years fruiting bodies of inonotus dryadeus, brown over white rot!
