  1. anything but an oyster in my opinion
  2. no worries, always a pleasure:thumbup1:
  3. thats a good shout but its got a centralised stipe, this would make it very likely P. dryinus:thumbup1:
  4. Mellea despite its reputation can live happily as a saprotroph/butt decay for many years even decades. only switching to a parasitic cambium phase when the tree is under stress, like drought for example.
  5. I already have all the fame I can handle thanks, going abroad soon so will almost certainly fade into the echoes. going to get me a country place in the mountains by a wood that is all mine. Get a bit of my own wood pollard pasture going and live the good life for as long as possible. being with the trees, walking the walk is all I ever knew how to do
  6. long term prognosis aint great
  7. thats a review i did for the journal thats flagging up in your search! give me your postall and I will send you a copy my old mucka I mean of the book edited by lonsdale not my review!
  8. very nice find fella, one i long to see
  9. yes, astonishing amounts this year:thumbup1: popular in spain I believe
  10. armillaria mellea on the first, your purple fungi on the acer is probably Chondrostereum purpureum unless you meant the purple reaction zones which have failed once already.

  12. must be a synonym for clitocybe gigantea?
  13. lets give you a direction! Clitocybe
  14. will leave a few more stabs before telling! but an easy one to identify
  15. an emergency Oak over the road in the dead of night, howling wind and rain, lightning struck a forest grown oak and literally split one half of the trunk and canopy away. the remaining 50% of the stem with crown was a very unnerving and most peculiar sensation to climb. but i had big kahunas back then, had no darn right to be up in it in all honesty
  16. bottle butt/decay, selective delignification or thinning of the wall and tube failures/fiber buckling
  17. its been grazed heavily difficult to call
  18. I sincerely hope it does, and not an easy task! (not suggesting I'm less than troublesome!)
  19. coolest thing I've seen in a long while.
  20. spot on:thumbup1: you know more than you know you know, if you know what I mean arry:lol:
  21. slimemolds are rarely host specific, not fussy as long as itys well rotten and damp:001_cool:
  22. an important endophyte of beech, helping shed dead branches for occlusions.
  23. Im buying a house here in the coming months Devetashka Cave in Veliko Tarnovo Region - My Destination Bulgaria
