    Windsor park, dawn to dusk, a full 12hrs hard strutting.. my fungal lust was at fever pitch! I climbed up on the statue just cos it was there, then a guy turned up and started taking pictures, he asked me how easy it was... He had wanted to get up there since he was a lad, bit of encouragment thats all it needed! and yes, thats the pip several times!

    In order for a fungi to produce a fruiting body it must have also met within the host a sexualy compatible mycelium of the same species. However in some cases some fungi can reproduce asexualy and produce replicating spores, though are few. Chicken of the woods, fistulina hepatica are to name a few

    flippin eck man, thats a BOLD statement! Personally speaking, I think shigos view of forks was limited to the tools of the day, this view of forks is on another level, and will update the model ABSOLUTE, though i also question the ego of making the point of debunking the entire union concept, which was the basis of duncans work and deserves a less poo poo attitude IMO. I also think duncan has missed a vital measurement in his data set, not going to get into it.

    If that model had any idea how dangerous that was I wonder if she would have taken the job, the film crew and organisers want a kick in the teeth
  18. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Didnt know it was like that, would have gone to this otherwise.

    the Hispidus will eventualy hollow out the old ripewoods, the only real issue to the trees will be from a reduction in the wall thickness of the hollow stems causing branches to be shed, this could be managed perfectly well. if they are pruned regularly and if needed propped too these could last decades yet.

    Im with david, and the pomaceus is strongly parasitic, as is the mellea
  21. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Glad you enjoyed the book Sloth, one of my personal faves too, lots of very important snippets that help build an overall deeper understanding:thumbup1:
  22. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Im glad to hear that Tom, and sorry to see you go really, good luck with the move

    but then I am looking for a challenge so I would say that! but seriously, I think the level of training and assessment for qualifications as a pro tree inspector are very much in need of revision on a fundamental level. If I was paying a pro inspector I would want to know that it was more than a formality.
  24. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    lol, he is much higher qualified than i slack.

    I think the PTI one day should be for new to tree folks, the three day should be a level 2 certificate of competnce with a new five day intensive version with 1 day legalities, one day fungi and other P and D two days survey data collection and management proposal exercises and one day of writing skills.
