    It wont be long before I am putting up picks from a microscope too! and increment cores etc, will be really usefull to all i hope. and thanks!

    LMAO:thumbup1: I dont talk BS Phenom! lol Ive been looking at fungi for a long, long time! do post some pics if you do the cores, would be interesting. You mentiond Gano too, same strategy as dryadeaus rot wise so while one was working the one side no doubt the other was eating away at the roots and lower butt on the other side, poor scenario!
  3. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    it wont look like that for long, the mycelium will retreat back a bit and that exposed to the elements will shrivel fast. If you have an increment corer take a sample out across the area well below the surface of the stump youll gain a lot in looking at the core sample, it will be striped white as the mycelia are banded between the vessels and middle lamella.
  4. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    It would be! it has just started to colonise the main woody structures at the core. Honestly mate, take my word for it, that white stuff is Mycelium, check it out under a scope, or peel it off and squeeze it! Bet it was a large fruit body too with that much accses to materials.

    So your swedish, Been to Sweden, tis a beautiful country.
  6. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Not knocking your theory, but what gives you the impression that white "stuff" is cellulose? It appears to be mycelial matting with the decay having just gone super nova (rapid extension)
  7. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Thats exactly who i would have recomended! A quality product, will last you a lifetime with care.
  8. Tony Croft aka hamadryad

    Well happy, not the location you suggested, this was tucked out of site and a really good clump, this was in better condition than the big clump behind this standing dead. My first find of hericium Corraloides, grid location logged for another search next autumn for a freash and gorgeous photo! I also found what appears to be a clump of degraded polyporus umbelatus which is also my first find and location again logged on the GPS for a better sample this autumn. The burnham beeches never fail to impress me, amazing. Shall post my finds in a thread entitled Walk with buff amougst the Beeches!

    If you want to see special, and indeed Hatfield is, but try Bradgate deer pk, its the kind of place where you get so spoilt for choice of magnificant veterans you start walking by ones that if you saw them on an average day you would go mental! theres just so many great trees there.
