    slimemolds are rarely host specific, not fussy as long as itys well rotten and damp:001_cool:

    an important endophyte of beech, helping shed dead branches for occlusions.

    all singing all dancing 300tdi sounds nice especially with a galvanised chassis:thumbup1:!

    using armilatox is a complete waste of time for this purpose. Honey fungi thrive in low competition areas, and will be one of the first to feast on your newly mycorrhizal lacking tree species. Parasites and pathogens love a weak host with no allies to compete with

    nice!

    Prefer a standard large 4-6lb axe for splitting myself, so cant really recommend one, but every man loves a Gransfors!

    Im thinking P. adiposa but still to confirm
  12. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    looks like a species of Pholiota to me, will see if I can remember what the species name is with a little searching for ver squarose pholiotas

    I agree with all that David has said, adding that the brown roll rim is both saprotrophic and mycorrhizal generalist and a tree of this age in this condition would not be producing fruitbodies of that size unless they had gone sapro on the dead tissues associated with that canker. In this case I would be inclined to remove and replant

    just an aged group of dryads
  15. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    nah. too much anthropomorphism going on with trees as it is!
  16. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Necrotrophic, Biotrophic and saprotrophic categories. your soil biology might help outcompete many of the true necros IF they colonise via soil pathways, a lot of them dont, many can colonise arial wounds. heart rot necrotrophs in particular, say Inonotus hispidus, I. cuticularis, phellinus sp.
  17. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    tannins
  18. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Yes! Phellinus pomaceus
  19. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    toomuch nitrogen?
  20. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    some nice selective delignification going on here.
  21. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Nope, not decay fungi, not a chance in hell me old mucka, pathogens on the other hand....
  22. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    agree with jesse. Willows of an age last forever decayed to within an inch of their skins, as long as you can manage the mechanics the tree will do fine
  23. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    ha ha ha your getting a bit nerdy! lol:lol: that has the flavour of some of my old posts!

    Had a nice day down at Burnham beeches on a Flora locale course with Dr Lonsdale, Caroline Davies, Dr Helen Read, was nothing really new forme but always good to keep up to date with the scene. Was good to see Nod today, looks a bit more relaxed these days! Oudemansiella mucida was in abundance, never known this one to be so prolific, but its a good year all round it seems, the best fistulina's and most abundant Parasols ive seen though these where at Knole, where I caught up with the Cowan clan for the day last Saturday. Heres a few images from these two days out.
