  1. poor terminology if you ask me, too loose
  2. when ventilated and dry any log should be fine for years. most fungi need water though some like the wild version of the dry rotter, serpula himantoides dont mind the dry cavities of Oaks
  3. good oh, see you there, the books ready for cutting apparently so wont be long now:thumbup1: cant wait, looks like one of Rob mc brides photos on front:thumbup1:
  4. respect, africa is one place I would like to go.
  5. dont kid yourselves, 3-4p of a litre? at around 140 a litre its a fippin joke, bearing in mind 80% IS TAX!
  6. just zooming in on it theres algea on upper surface too, its going to be either Perenniporia or Rigi, either way interesting at this hieght
  7. only that one that was posted a while back, never personally and never at ground level on beech. My gut is saying Ganoderma pfeifferi theres a classic blocky black lump reminiscent of I. obliquos above the new body which hints at an older staged body of Pfiefferi to me, and the golden colouration is also pulling me that way. like you say though closer sharper images would be nice:thumbup1:
  8. darn, this might become a price war, fancy a share!
  9. david, just out of interest what makes you go for Rigidiporus as apposed to perenniporia on beech?
  10. awesome,what a fitting end to a tree
  11. How to make an Axe handle
  12. wheres this? might have a load meself!
  13. Stamets knows his stuff, nutty genius!
  14. http://www.woodlands.co.uk/owning-a-wood/managing-your-woodland-for-wildlife/managing-your-woodland-for-wildlife.pdf
  15. im sure there will be another book somewhere on the cards:thumbup1:
  16. I hope this is the right one! took a while to find ENSPEC%20Research%20Paper%20-%20Ganoderma%20on%20Trees.pdf
  17. I am with you on that, I personally feel its pure consciousness, un-embodied, Stamets makes some pretty wild claims about Fungi "choosing" us, starting to believe there is something to all this divine conciousness:001_cool: I wouldnt say I am afraid of whats going on, because there is a reason for everything, just wish that we didnt have to deal with it all, this limited backwards crap that has no empthy with Gaia
  18. I am sort of, but something went a bit pete tong a while back and i lost my grounding, turned into a miserable moody picky shi.... I think ive been losing sight of a lot of stuff.
  19. I know matty, wouldnt even contemplate you doing so,its not in your nature buddy:thumbup1: I meant just dont take any notice im being a picky tool as always:blushing:
  20. oh you big chicken:001_tt2: why are you so shy!
  21. ignore me Matty, just sticking my unsolicited oar in as usual:thumbdown:
  22. Theres a lot of very dark crazy stuff about whats going on in the U.S, the internet is full of it, hard to know whats real and not these days, but I dont believe the telly either, nor the papers, where do you even begin!
  23. ha ha there you are, knew you couldn't resist for too long, I am very interested in your "academic" and staunch science view on this subject, especially as the science behind its safety and stability is "shady"
