  1. nothing complicate there Guy, not retrenchment, just a pollard
  2. I think retrenchment pruning needs elaboration!
  3. looks like they are beginning to fuse
  4. poor terminology if you ask me, too loose
  5. 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
  6. 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:
  7. respect, africa is one place I would like to go.
  8. dont kid yourselves, 3-4p of a litre? at around 140 a litre its a fippin joke, bearing in mind 80% IS TAX!
  9. 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
  10. 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:
  11. darn, this might become a price war, fancy a share!
  12. david, just out of interest what makes you go for Rigidiporus as apposed to perenniporia on beech?
  13. awesome,what a fitting end to a tree
  14. How to make an Axe handle
  15. wheres this? might have a load meself!
  16. Stamets knows his stuff, nutty genius!
  17. http://www.woodlands.co.uk/owning-a-wood/managing-your-woodland-for-wildlife/managing-your-woodland-for-wildlife.pdf
  18. im sure there will be another book somewhere on the cards:thumbup1:
  19. I hope this is the right one! took a while to find ENSPEC%20Research%20Paper%20-%20Ganoderma%20on%20Trees.pdf
  20. 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
  21. 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.
  22. 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:
