    P. squarrosa on ash, explains the root flare, wasnt there a couple of weeks ago!

    Search for a Tun-it chip. You get them for most diesel engines, weve had 2. One in a beemer and another in a navara, you cannot get them for tractors too, it's just a box with a plug that plugs onto the engine, adjustable and gives you a good jump in power. Roughly £300, but that's what you would pay for a pro remap and you can't just take off to revert back to stock.

    Can't explain the blushing other than 'because it does!' Saprotrophic means it hosts on dead or dysfunctional wood. It's rot type is white rot.

    I have to get back into Latin, all this dealing with customers shrubs and conifers and hedges and trees makes me lose touch! Armed myself with some more dendro books so I'll hopefully pick it back up!

    I have to say I am jealous of Tom for getting such a position! You know how much I'd love to be working with you like that! Some cool body language in those trees for sure!

    I recently sold 9 rings from the monkey puzzle I took down, ranging from 6-18" wide and 8-12" long. Sold for £6 each

    We do use amarillotox as a fungicide mainly in turf and as a moss killer. It stinks! I don't recommend that clients use it near trees though!

    It's actually been carved in, looks like nails have been out in and cut off the eyes. Shame thoug, as it's pretty good, that beech was 140dbh. Proper monster!

    I remember the first two. The pine with what looked like a fruiting body but wasn't And a pic of some vets from my favourite group of trees.

    That's down at croft castle near Leominster. Here's one I found at college. Mischievous looking fellow!

    Two 25' in today. 2 40' tomorrow! And about 3000 4-15' to stand up in the field and 500 5-8' to harvest by saw or dig them out into pots.

    Here's the standard one I think, not to step on toes but I was curious! Variegated Pagoda Dogwood (Cornus alternifolia 'Argentea') At Shelmerdine Garden Center In Winnipeg, Manitoba

    I should improve my idents too! I should read those books. I can tell whether it's a tree or not if that's any use?
  14. RobRainford
    that should be illegal, what a way to destroy heritage! all for the sake of some bloody timber!

    I thout it was because they were sharing the bottle, advocating that you can drink your mates wash back!

    Thanks Gerrit. Any More info on this species? I read it is edible.

    Here we go, had a good fidget with this one

    The stipe was very much the same colour. I shall go and get more photos!
  19. RobRainford
    And the last one!

    If got a few here, all new to me, I think the red and blue ones are Leratiomyes ceres and Stropharia caerulea, the Redlead Roundhead and Blue Roundhead. The white one I am unsure, they were all on or around a pile of woodchip/manure

    I think there's two funnels there, the C. nebularis could also possibly be Clitocybe dealbata (=C. Rivulosa). Not that I want to prove you wrong tony, you probably are right and I'm seeing things! Although they look similar in my books! The other funnel, with the stipe a different colour to the cap and gills, I would assume to be The Trooping Funnel C. geotropa. However I will await correction!

    Pic 3 in second post, a Geastrum sp. an earth star, cool!
  23. RobRainford
    I've had a few. No issues at all

    Grrrr *shakes fist*

    Our tree officer doesn't manage the trees. It's down to the parks here. Who don't use any management programmes, I called in a beech I spotted with merip at a park and now they have a small compound next to it for building works!
