loving this- The full law is expected to pass within the next few months and is unlikely to face any significant opposition because the ruling party, the Movement Towards Socialism, has a considerable majority in parliament. Its leader, President Evo Morales, voiced a commitment to the initiative at the World People’s Conference on Climate change, held in Bolivia in April 2010. The Law of Mother Earth includes the following: The right to maintain the integrity of life and natural processes. The right to not have cellular structure modified or genetically altered. The right to continue vital cycles and processes free from human alteration. The right to pure water. The right to clean air. The right to balance, to be at equilibrium. The right to be free of toxic and radioactive pollution. The right to not be affected by mega-infrastructure and development projects that affect the balance of ecosystems and the local inhabitant communities The law also promotes “harmony” and “peace” and “the elimination of all nuclear, chemical, biological” weapons.

good on ol Bolivia, lets hope this is a trend setting move. Bolivia Gives Legal Rights To The Earth | World Truth. TV

what he said, would love to see such a grouping:thumbup1:

awesome, made me wanna get back to walking on me hands again!

Possibly your finest thread IMO, i does doth me cap old bean

just recieved mine today and looking awesome, theres some stonking photography too, som guy called antony has a lovely shot of Fomes on beech page 158:lol: pleased as punch, made my flippin year:001_cool:

rigi results in mycelial mass, at times, if it drys it will become sheets. as for the bjerkandera its just an illusion, the underside shot think its fith from last shows a grey hue (hence name being smokey bracket but i see in this case you have top side shot also and appears to be aged trametes versicolour so I made a naughty assumption:blushing:

as do I, I have conversations with arbs all the time regarding trees with wounds like that before the regeneration, so many seem to lack the vision of the futures for trees in what appears at the face value and time like an irreversible situation! trees have a lot of time, time man rarely "gets"

And i thought the whole point of the PTI course was to fill the gap for a specific tree inspection certificate as currently there was no specific proof or testing in the current education models to clarify in an un-ambiguos way capacity for tree hazard assesments?

are you certain the mycelial sheets where not of the rigidiporus? some bjerkandera there too, with the grey pore layer

because I like to learn via an experiential process not because someone told me it was this way or that. You can be well read until your blue in the face but NOTHING will ever beat trial and error in the field:001_smile:

I think this deserves a place here? 60ft stick through a 6 ft window of canopy! too far left or right trees was gonna be ruined!

well lots of sac fungi could be candidates, but only know for certain two basidiomycetes that cause that colouration wth regularity, I. cuticularis/hispidus both capable of the mode:thumbup1:

treated myself to a new set after braking two forks and a mathook!

may i be so bold as to suggest a white rotter and a soft rot ascomycetes as opposed to the alternative brown rot:001_smile:

listen, your avatar got poser written all over it we know your sort, a blond walked past and you got all macho and balls'ed it up!

still trying to find the befores, as for the buckets yeah, was a bit of a perlava to say the least!

you can make all the excuses under the sun, but we know what rely happened, you got rough with the little flower:lol:

Young vandals, brute force and ignorance is not the way of the 150!

Hispidus is a different relationship, I will elaborate later in a dedicated thread been meaning to do ash and hispidus for eons

your wish is my command:thumbup1:
