    most arbs and all customers dont realize the best work is not done overnight, it takes time, tree time to turn a sows ear into a silk purse. in this case the silk purse is the veteran old tree safe and in good form despite "issues":thumbup1: as opposed to the "its goosed fell and replace" brigade, the lazy approach.

    a tiny nylon hammer is as effective as a large mallet, and less likely to be used "vigorously"!

    well figures like this dont lie, it seems to me that nature has a way of balancing things out

    an interesting article that hints at a decline in population is happening, due to many factors but reproduction rates are slowing across the board. While it suggests this is poor for economy, to me it signals hope for the global system/ecology The Entire Economy Is a Ponzi Scheme. The Global Financial System is Insolvent | Global Research

    im sure he will thank you for perpetuating the myth! like Sting said, that kind of publicity one can handle! (referring to the rumor he was a tantric stud muffin)

    its a naughty fungus for sure, appears to be the darker lower profiled version yet again? the plot thickens
  16. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    i am not out to convince you, not my game at all, just giving the benefit of my experience. given host and context Daldinia is highly unlikely
  17. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    well I have been wrong in the past, and sure to be again!
  18. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    xylaria, daldinias and all of these types can become hollow with age and predation. the Xylaria is a white flesh, snaps like a carrot, daldinia an entirely different animal, which by the way tends to be far browner on beech. there are around 7-9 species of daldinia.
  19. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    go and snap it in half, tis alright, common fungi and will come again
  20. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    asda is only one step above lidl so no surprises!
  21. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    yes it is, hence the common name dead mans fingers. also hence "appears to be an immature":thumbup:
  22. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    that would appear to be a immature Xylaria polymorpha group:thumbup1:
  23. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    but it IS changing my man, its happening as we speak of it:thumbup1:
  24. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    would think being solitary and thin probably more likely E. truncorum wot wot:biggrin:

    the banding on that oak is not helping functions at all:thumbdown:
