    I have my eye on 80000 square metres of 90 year old beech/Oak and Maple forest at the moment. Every man should own a woodland! Good luck with the purchase Lumpit, sounds like my kind of place

    There is certainly plenty out and about this year, A. mellea and Gallicas all over the shop, the Coprinus picaceus group I shot last year is again in fine form and bagged myself a whopping Helvella crispa (last Image)

    go for a 5mm bore, longer the better in length mines a 600mm. they are hardened hence the breakages but if you maintain straight when torqing it up and never over stretch the mettle twisting it wont break think mines a hagglof

  5. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    anything but an oyster in my opinion
  6. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    no worries, always a pleasure:thumbup1:
  7. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    thats a good shout but its got a centralised stipe, this would make it very likely P. dryinus:thumbup1:

    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.

    ive no ideas

    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

  12. Tony Croft aka hamadryad

  14. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    yes, astonishing amounts this year:thumbup1: popular in spain I believe
  15. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    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.
  16. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    look more like A mellea to me, though there is some indication here of the dark rings on the annulus as with ostoyae
  17. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    must be a synonym for clitocybe gigantea?
  18. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    lets give you a direction! Clitocybe
  19. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    will leave a few more stabs before telling! but an easy one to identify
  20. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    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
  21. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    bottle butt/decay, selective delignification or thinning of the wall and tube failures/fiber buckling
  22. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    indeed:thumbup1:
  23. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    its been grazed heavily difficult to call
  24. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    I sincerely hope it does, and not an easy task! (not suggesting I'm less than troublesome!)
  25. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    coolest thing I've seen in a long while.
