Tony Croft aka hamadryad

Return visit for Tony and David. Turns out it was just some ivy on the tree in the background Mr Croft. I won't go into my recommendations here. Might post elsewhere though.

thanks for the effort, I cant win em all, just mostly:biggrin:

Just got round to put up this one which I picked end of July. Trouble IDing it so please help.

 

Location SW Scotland. Growing in the dripzone of a Leylandii hedge and bordering a lawn. Plenty of light getting to it. If that helps.

 

It did look and smell tasty but gave it a miss. Nearly big enough for my new house:wink:

that is the most amazing prince ive ever seen. remarkable size

I think untill we can manage the rootzones the urban habitat is very poor for trees, wouldnt want to expose a living thing to such a stifling opressive environment, like a battery chicken

Beautiful and thanks for sharing.

Walking the dog over the golf course last night and not only got some exercise but lovely porcini for my omelette for tea. Good year for them.

it is, so many are saying the same

Yeah, I was really lucky getting wood like that from my first ever use of my Alaskan and I really enjoy hearing what everyone sees in the pattern, loads of different stuff - I should name it the Rorchsac (not sure how to spell that!) Table. Cheers for your feedback, Mark

another Alaskan convert, its so addictive aint it! you look at a butt and think I wonder what thats like milled? out it comes! love my mill should have had one eons ago:thumbup1:

I find a small cheap calculator, with a couple of prongs superglued to the end with '20%' typed onto the screen is excellent for achieving good results.

Davids a very active surfer, and always generous with his time, and very "forgiving" of us dweebs!

Some very nice documentation here David, nice work as always.

lmao, you feeling the love mate!

no ideas, you wanna ask Lonsdale, he loves his bugs, little secret passion of his.

I might be so bold as to suggest a little Armilaria

We do a dangerous job, fear is a good thing as long as its a balanced fear.

Like others have said, being too confident is as bad as being unconfident.

A little slip like this will help guide you, get back in the saddle and move forward, we all have a wobble now and then.

I had to rope down a big old poplar last week, I knew it was heavily decayed, as two limbs had torn out historicaly on one side. The other side all leaned over a drainage canal, hence the rop off. I kept it as light as I dare, everybit gave me confidence too, as the tree was lightening off with each piece. We got it to a stem and put my land and mates 7.5 ton truck on it to pull it into the playing fields. When it hit the deck it exploded and I got to see a strip of living cambium holding the whole thing up was just about 2-3 inches thick!

That shook me to my core, I said thats the last rotten tree i do like that without a MEWP. We need a shake down once in a while, its a reminder.

So much Laetiporus about at the moment, great years for it.

Found me a Porcini patch too!

i found Macrocarpa to be superb kindling

do you think they are just elongated pores rather than teeth?

 

A clearer orientated image would be more useful.

 

Which species do you think?

 

Is it found in the US?

 

.

yes pores not teeth

schizopora

So after a 400 mile round trip to Northwest defenders (Ryan is a great guy and straight as they come) we now have two! I am cleary mad as hatter!

So heres the girls, lots of work to do on the 110 but mostly panel and cosmetics.

Im a happy man! now for the roof rack roof tent and a few other tinkerings, then 4x4/camping/kyaking/fishing/hunting/sustainable living etc etc etc holidays on offer in Bulgaria!

corns coming on a treat!

Horse chestnut? polyporus squamosus?

probably, leaf miner and Psuedomona added to the mix

I never like making these decisions, heres one I did an emergency fell on over the weekend, two stem historic lim failures (so an Aesculus habit) P. squamosus at 30 ft at old wound site massive limb lower down historic limb loss.

Psuedomona strip canker at union.

To make the decision easy it was leaning over an entrance gate to an estate, the gates electric, they sat right under the tree while waiting for the gates to open, over a hundred peoplea day using it, was only one way to go.

This ones a new species for me, Lentinellus ursinus, on tsuga log Watford.

48 records on the FRDBI. Thats what i call a good find!

Were off to Lancs tomorrow to get a 110, photos to follow! whooop whooop cant wait, long drive back at 50mph though!

when all the common public lands are privatised the last of your very limited freedom will perish

Loving it, that's my word of the day

Surprisingly little in the way of fruiting around where I was staying in Burgundy over the last couple of weeks.

 

here's what I understand (thanks to my handy local fungal 'over'-lord) to be Russula delicans - the Milk-white Brittlegill

 

Mycorrhizal on the roots of these Picea at this rural church

Very nice documentation Mr Humphries, close up to landscape context, your getting rather good at this!

look at the change in bark pattern, thats not good, its being choked, that will end badly IMO

few comments, I am sure it will go badly! lmao....

Religion does not overpopulate, people overpopulate.

Chinas policy was enforced by the yanks a long time ago, it had the act of supressing them, at least that was the plan, and yet China along with russia pakistan Brazil has just set up a rival to the IMF to fund ONLY Brics nations. Bye Bye petro dollar world reserve currency, hello rubel and yen! Brace yourselves for it is coming, and it will be messy.

Steralisation via so called "health Jabs" has been going on for a long long time now. I wont go into some long winded truth but suffice to say a child gets more jabs in its first 3 years of life now than we got in our lives, a day old child is now injected with an innoculation containing so much mercury that it would take a man of 285lbs to deal with the dose.

A global rise in Alzhiemers of 75,000% and I will leave the geo engineers to help explain that one.

GM foods- the failure to yield is well and truly documented, as is the side effects. It is not about feeding the world, it is about total control and domination in world food supply.

If you want something fascinating to look into have a look at who the Bill gates foundation give their money to! the third largest fund on the planet only rivalled by two hedge funds. They give mcdonalds something in the region of 40 million to help improve pregnant women and childrens nutrition! PMSL

Intense agriculture is HEVILY subsidised, yet is nutritionly many times less dense than Organics, which is penalised and unsubsidised forced to jump through hoops to be legitimate food.

Afriends midwife told her not to consume her home grown organic veg in case it harmed her baby.... ARE YOU FRIGGIN SERIOUS! She asked her if it would be o.k to consume once she had got it roundup ready and sprayed till no living thing was present!

The african nations are kept rivaling, fighting and corrupt because it is the wealthiest nation on earth, it if it united and woke up to its manipulation take on the world with ease. gaddaffi and Sadam both wanted this, needless to say they are dead and you all despise them, but have you read and understood what they was doing before judging the situation, or did you swallow that BS you got from the good old BBC and other banking owned media outlets?

Depopulation is as we speak in almost full effect, it is being pulled off on many fronts under many schemes.

the irony is its all BS the world can feed us all with EASE, there is enough land, there is enough technology for us all to live in harmony and in comfort.

But the 00.1%ers cannot tolerate equality, and they have the means to ensure you NEVER find out the truth.
