    yikes! looks like resinaceum

    very interesting:thumbup1:

    Although "a bit lame" by Hamas standards i thought i'd share these pics of Piptoporus betulinus on a birch log. It seems that Hama needs his fungi to be covered in bells and whistles before he can take a photo of them. I, however, appreciate the subtle beauty of a classic Birch Polypore.

    hahah i know i know, it's a big one though! sod it ILL SHOW YOU

    haha! my camera is ok but i'm after a compact. Does that mean I can't start a Piptoporus betulinus thread? THEY'S MY BEST PICS!

    Pholiota squarrosa Piptoporus betulinus

    Sounds interesting, I would like to do a bat course. I have heard they can get into some pretty small spaces, such as under cracked sycamore bark.

    To be honest mate, my head is spinning off these 3 threads we are posting in tonight, I think I need a lie down!
  10. chris cnc
    I see. Is it possible for bats to be "re-housed"? For example in the extreme circumstance that this tree was leaning over a basket full of new born babies thus HAD to be removed. (you cannot move the babies).
  11. chris cnc
    I get ya. My original assumption was that the combination of both white and brown rot effects was due to the simultaneous lignin and cellulose degradation caused by Inonotus hispidus. Phew that was a mouthfull

    I like the fence idea, I also saw a sign in another thread that said something like "I am an old tree, please enjoy me from a safe distance"
  13. chris cnc
    Ok so even if bats are confirmed to be in residence, it is possible to have the tree completely removed if there is no other option? Next hypothetical question........

    looks like Phellinus igniarius to me Heres a couple I shot earlier in the year
  15. chris cnc
    i get ya, similar to freshly cut alder oxidizing orange?
  16. chris cnc
    cheers mate:thumbup1: will do
  17. chris cnc
    how would you manage this tree in the high traffic footpath scenario Hama? To make it more difficult, the footpath cannot be moved out of target range. ... and there are CONFIRMED bats
  18. chris cnc
    Thats what i was thinking- either pollarded or mono'd. Would this affect the hypothetical bats? i presume they would roost in the main cavity...?
  19. chris cnc
    new question: "How would you manage this tree if either the road or footpath were high traffic?"
  20. chris cnc
    like I said, this tree has nothing to do with me. but yes, bat habitat and fractures are a good answer to the hypothetical question haha.
  21. chris cnc
    me? done
  22. chris cnc
    you may be interested Hama, in the small cavity opening visible above the bracket in this pic. The cavity shows brown rotted wood, while the snapped limb is more characteristic of a white rot. Thus the tree is in an advanced state of decay. i think.
  23. chris cnc
    yes I believe the farm track is low use. The footpath is separate, on the other side of the tree, and is a signposted "public footpath" leading to a nature reserve site. Not sure how frequently it is used as today was only my second visit. This oak is on the opposite side of the path to the ash in my "Inonotus hispidus" thread- so between the two of them, they have things covered!
  24. chris cnc
    thanks yes I should have mentioned it is within target distance of a footpath and farm road. Like I said I have nothing to do with the management of this tree, I was just speculating on some "hypothetical remedial work" I know, I need to get a life
  25. chris cnc
    main cavity... pic three is the view up the stem from inside
