    well apart from agreeing withh our forum guru i would just add it certainly isnt a forming ganoderma, and I never see perenniporia fraxinea on Aesculous so by a simpler process of elimination youll be pretty well on track for R. ulmarius.

    Im O.K with Buffs passing, I miss him but it is inevitable we will lose these friends it is the time you have, you have to make it count. That is kinda why I am here now, making it count, every minute of every hour is an opportunity to be emotionally overwhelmed by the experiences we can share.

    couldnt agree more, classic old ash 10's of thousands like this with scaley, rarely falling but have to say most older ones retrenching via hispidus in canopy, so yeah reduce all day long. corking tree worthy of care:thumbup1:

The bitch of this pair is the litters runt, we chose her hten the next one to keep her company as she was so coi, they make a great pair, no regrets at all was spot on the right thing settling in fast due to their kinships:thumbup1:

    I thought I would add a little update, especially as this post quoted here has come true! Meet Buddy & Holly, brother and sister, two pups much in need of a place to call home. The time was right, and they presented themselves to us. Snug as bugs on the couch right now, sleeping after a strange day for them most likely:001_cool: May the adventures begin, and long will they continue, the third time ive opened myself up to dogs now, old men have so many four legged friends in their history and I will remember them all as the best of my friends, cant wait, the woods beckon me once more with compadres ! still unable to process images to this site?

    species is elm it's a very healthy tree apart from this small area around an old pruning wound just above an inclusion. the fruit body shown in the photo in the op is at the top of the inclusion shown in the photo below. everything below it looks perfectly healthy. cheers simply put it is easier to compartmentalise the wood below than above, when the vessel is broken it is fed from the bottom up, the supply chin is broken from there upward

    gotta say agree with Mr humphries on this one, ive never really seen it as parasitic, opportunistic yes, and I dont think its that good a competitor either
  23. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    as ive said before on hearing of this experiment, 3 weeks and the bodies NATURALLY decay, They have rhizomorphs for protection and snorkeling. light will do sweet fudge!

    a few bits from recent some unfinished and roughed out others gifts for friends and nieghbours:001_smile: And always pay attention! Large sorby scraper to the face at 800RPM aint no joke! Photo files appear to not download (Steven, whats a security token?)
  25. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Cant agree more, did a lovely dry bit of Robinia the other day and its as good as oak in my opinion, and every bit as resilient, some of the old beams in my house are Robinia and no worm and tough as iron:thumbup1:
