    My best buddy, inseperable are we! BUFF

    on the contrary, combined with the biulding work and probable minor root severance and Meripilus its roots may well be re establishing closer to the main body of the trunk/root flare. Similar to a root prune, there may be considerable regeneration of fine rootlets establishing close to the trunk. Similar to the situation in the article Andrew cowen wrote on the Oak with grifola, though not quiet as old and ramified as that oak! just similar changes going on.

    neobulgaria pura var "foliacea" no common name? exidia thuretiana. black version is called witches butter so maybe this could be angels butter! no name common known to me! Calocera viscosa, yellow stags horn, i think is the common name Piptoporus quercinus the oak polypore, very rare and protected, one of my favourite finds. Coprinus comatus common inkcap (one in earlier post miss labelled, my bad)

    That isnt going to tell you much though is it john? Wouldnt you want more than a minimal trowel investigation considering what is already known of this tree? and the beauty of the air spade is minimal damage, digging destroys the fine roots, critical at this stage. Not only that but some airspading might help relieve some compaction and assist the tree back to health?
  12. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    You should have stuck that in the "beauty of standing dead" thread! goodun
  13. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    I confess, you have got me bang to rights! TOAD! You guys win, both from now on!
  14. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Andrew cowen, in here he is Batiarb, he could do a root investigation with airspades and give a detailed report on the extent and stabilty of the root system. would be the right way to go about it and the client will probably acknowlege your efforts to assist in this trees retention.

    do you know what, I reckon i should set the example and stick to pure latin, it is the right way and I did promise i would "proffesionalise " my content!
  16. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    lol thought I had upset you and you was having a pop! lmao no worries. and yes if he left a wife and kid behind he shouldnt really have been doing that! but if his family loved him, wouldnt they want him to do what drives him?
  17. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    I know what youre saying, but ive been given a hard time over this common name thing by the "hardcore" mycologists I am trying to break the habit! It causes confusion due to there being often more than one name, for example as in the thread i have fommes included the common names, southern bracket, tinder fungus and horses hoof fungus, you start to get where i am coming from. I have to get my head round sticking to the latin! But if thats what ze peoples want, then have it they shall my good man! what about those that have no common name? latin is the language of science!

    Polyporus squamosus Polyporus squamosus Forming Brackets of Bjerkandera adusta, note similarity to imperfect asexual stage of Ustulina duesta? Daedaleopsis confragosa Daedaleopsis confragosa Close up of pore surface
  22. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Do you plan to retrenchment prune it? I mean if and when it shoots from the inner scaffolds will you plan to stage reduce the profile of the crown into a pre arranged or desired lower profile over a long period?
  23. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    lol missed the second line! ha ha, silly me
  24. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Nice fommes, good Photos too. the others are flamulina velutipes The velvet shank, and the last is pluerotus ostreatus, the oyster mushroom. interesting as ive never seen velvet shanks on beech before usualy elm and chestnut
  25. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    sounds stable, would the client stump up for Andrew to go down do a root investigation on this one? would clear up doubt and clarify the stability concern
