    to be honest at my peak I was buying books faster than I could read them! still dont know what ive got and what I still need as I've been otherwise distracted from my own study for a while now. So much so Im feeling very stupid and ignorant, watching the posts of others like yourself getting on and joining proper groups makes me wish I still had the clarity and drive for it I once had. I will be getting this one you have though, as it doesnt ring any bells, and the Amanitas are a great fungi:thumbup1: Ive been meaning to send something over to you since Bulgaria, just waiting for the Mrs to pull her finger out for the last goody bag item, as ive something for the boys to but didnt wanna leave your good lady out !

    Coprinopsis atramentaria, though the first image the one at the back looks a bit C. picaceus, no guarantees of course

    dont buy magnetic signs for early landies! like i did DOH! aluminium panels:lol:
  5. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    You should be including yourself and I and a growing number of others in that statement! I have no idea why this is the case, either way it is an area ripe for study because of it.

    Paxillus involutus AKA the brown roll rim:thumbup1:

    I thought my friends would appreciate me sharing this! We can all use a laugh, albeit at my expense today, my girls definitely got the same sarcastic streak as me! but she did get me a compressor and all the paint to camo the landie! all is forgiven. Got me an awesome new coffee mug too, I think this lot have me figured out! Enjoy! lmao:lol:

    nev collected some at the trees in crisis seminar 2 weeks ago so they are late this year, 2-3 weeks difference in certain areas wouldnt be unusual for any species imo:thumbup1:

    this is the last Chalara talk im getting involved in on here!

    Trophic or troph as opposed to Phyte one consumes SAProtrophicly, the other produces its own energy-epiphyte or partialy like a hemiparasitic mistletoe. Fungi feed off things, plants feed themselves

    crikey I didnt know anyone was still watching BBC after what theyve been getting up to!

    this statement surely just makes arboriculture look pretty bloody poor on the whole? I dont mean what you said or you personally, I mean that it is a statement of the true situation. I mean give it some thought "Local authority work doesn't align with the standard because of the specs provided":confused1: You me and Dupree pay these tonkers!

    Well I am actually pleased to hear so many people concerned about our ash. I personally wouldn't be accusing anyone of being one of your "experts" and discouraging the expression and discussion of something that is going to have a potentially catastrophic effect on A) the ecology B) the firewood industry (after short term gain) C) a massive amount of locked up Carbon now rapidly on its way to a gaseous form once more and D) the aesthetic impact of one of our most iconic trees vanishing from the landscape, as did the Elms. I saw a superb comment earlier today on another issue talking about the "Baseline syndrome" Shifting Baseline Syndrome | Am I one of the so called "Experts" your refering to?

    thats awesome Paul, long may it continue to grow.
  17. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    come on kiddo dont be shy! join in the carnage!
  18. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    so true
  19. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    You should have a look at agenda 21- the sustainable plan for the 21st century!
  20. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    It may be fast when young, but at an age it turns into a very slow grower, look at ash rings when your cutting in future and youll be amazed. Ive caught many a good tree man off gaurd when asking them to look at it, one even had a butt sitting in his barn and was shocked to find a ring count way beyond his expectations

    China russia and pakistan are starting to realise that if they dont make a stand now they will be even more surrounded by U.S/U.K (same thing) bases than they already are. Gas and oil is dwindling, there is no more continents to plunder, only those already occupied by sovereign nations. Take Burma for example.
  22. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Dont worry about it!
  23. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Im liking your style there fella:thumbup1:
  24. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    auricularia mesenterica and a coprinus sp pos lagopus

    ive moved over to a samson thats similar, cant remember the name of it now, love it like i did when i first moved to tachyon, agree with what you say about the two versions.
