    Make a day of it and make sure you get over the far side where the veteran ash trees are, and if your lucky you might see Lentinus tigrinus fruiting on a semi submerged Oak stump opposite bank to the cafe:thumbup1: august late july should see lots of nice hispidus brackets to shoot too:thumbup1:

    It would have paid me to refine recomendation writing, maybe I should have done the report writing workshop first, thats my advice. it is surprisingly difficult to be succinct, as though a complete novice could read it and know without doubts what it meant
  15. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    sean, youll be fine, my 20 questions and report recommendations let me down, had to giggle when I saw fungi 19.5 apparently i didn't note the risk differences between plane and ash on hispidus, so was marked down 0.5! hey ho. the written stuff is strict, and so is Dave
  16. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    100% got 66.5 needed 70 to Pass:blushing:
  17. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    I wouldnt laugh at this, one day one of us will be in just such a situation. made me think for sure

    A bit of a panicky Ganoderma IMO

    I failed the PTI course! doh. 3.5 points, might as well have been 20 points! Guess thats another £150.00 to pay for a retake, hey ho.

    your odd streaks may be old sap sucker wounds, they fit the pattern.

    I have only limited experience of actual wood testing, using the Fracto II. Its true that much work is required to refine the data tables for comparisoms to be drawn, but its al relative really, after all your testing one tree, you only have to take a healthy core from say a branch or nieghbour to compare. Even if no comparison sample was avaliable one can use the manual (hand) test to evaluate the wood sample, either way, you get to see the state of the wood, for reall and under a microscope if you have one. I intend to get a fracto II as soon as possible, its a shame its an expensive item, it would be a big thing to get as many arbs as possible adding to a data set, but at 1700 plus a borer at around 3-500 its not an essential! i think its an essential, but you know what I mean, not shiny enough me thinks:lol: I got a lovely core from a fistulina (brown oak) last year

    ditto, thanks for posting that up, looks pretty good if you ask me, considering, what I mean is its salvagable
  23. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    windsor is the U.K stronghold for the Oak poly:thumbup1:
  24. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    this is about big players playing big, for big numbers, look at the scramble that went on for the 7 million allocated for Chalara. they only give a monkies when theres a 00000000 on it. Like most things, it was imported and is now here to stay, its all in vain when we refuse to deal with it at the border. thank the WTO for that:thumbdown:
