in case you havent realised, im going to keep going until someone tells me to stop.... Phellinus ignarius Found on broadleaves, most commonly willow. perrenial. Causes an intensive white rot, leading to a brittle fracture. fruiting bodies appear on trunk and major branches, sometimes quite high up, and can be found on felled/fallen wood. Often woodpecker holes near the brackets. the brackets start small and lumpy eventually grow into a large hoof or dome shaped bracket, showing perrenial layers, and often cracked with age and covered with moss or algae.

yeah good call. i might go back in a week or so and see if theyre any bigger, might aid in getting a positive id, but i agree that its most likely a Tramete. my id books have no mention of zonatum, typical. lol

Lifelong learning- A costly affair?
chris cnc replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Training & education
you are obviously a dedicated, enthusiastic and competent arborist and it is a crime that you are not being allowed to reach your potential. im sure i read somewhere you used to run your own outfit, is this something you would consider doing again? as you clearly know what your doing, despite lack of quals. good luck with the future mate and i hope it all works out for you. -
im going to go with Ganoderma applanatum for this one, unless someone corrects me...
-
thanks for the comments:thumbup1:

Trametes ochracea?

old Ganoderma....

you beat me too it,
-
close call! might be a stupid question but... why didnt he fly away? just with all the noise etc.... or was he a youngun?
-
im not sure, could be a Tramete but i was thinking one of the Stereums...
-
yet another Polyporus squamosus
-
the left of pic 3, is where i am standing in the boot pic. im surprised no one's tried to ring it up and pinch it, but i might be the first to find it for all i know. although it has been there long enough for these to form, however long that is...
-
sigh......
-
you can say that again!
-
the cavity at base stopped at about knee height. the tree is bigger than it looks in the pics, here i am standing along one of the fallen branches...
-
this must have made a hell of a racket when it fell over... three major branches have been dropped, and it appears that two of them formed a twin leader. last pics show aerial roots forming in what used to be the twin leader/union, and evidence of rot at the base (although not sure that this was the reason for the failure) no real point to this just thought people might be interested

good post. i think if you start getting into bad habits, such as... i dunno, not using your chain brake... once you get used to that, then even more risky stuff starts becoming acceptable to you, too... Up the pyramid you go.

and Piptoporus betulinus- Birch Polypore/ Razor Strop Fungus A brown- rotting fungi found on living and dead Birch. Very common. Fruit bodies vary from white golf ball shaped when young, to large, flat or dome shaped brackets, becoming grey or brown with age. Porous. Old fruit bodies often remain on trunks and can be found on standing or fallen wood. Causes brittle fracture.

Ganoderma australe, i believe...
-
shocking! :lol:
-
more Dryads. in greek mythology, a "Dryad" is a type of wood nymph.
-
Polyporus squamosus- Dryads Saddle common parasitic white rotter found on broadleaved trees especially elm, beech and sycamore, and fallen logs/ stumps, spring to early autumn. Single or in groups/ tiers. Soft, not persisting. Edible.

thanks everyone:thumbup1:

i like it. at the end of the day the tree looks good, it is an advert for you work and reputation, and will help you to earn £££... which is why we are doing this in the first place after all.

more Daldinia concentrica and Phellinus ignarius...
