    Driving in to London yesterday and this car popped up carrying a full head of grass all over it! I do believe it is astro but still, it looked pretty cool to me!

    I hope you recover the full 100% trooper. I would have lost the plot if that had happened to me. Without going in to too much detail I lost some extremely important work I'd spent 9 days compilng for a very important military project and was almost physically sick when I realised what had happened - only after some fresh air and lots of breathing I dispelled the feeling. I did not recover my work but had to repeat it all over the following very long days and nights from memory so I feel your anguish mate.

    I hope this is the right thread for dual decay strategies Found this on Alnus sp

    A very large wasps nest recovered from the loft of a local resident who could not sleep due to the buzzing he could hear. On further inspection he found this beauty. It was much bigger that that which I have shown due to the delecate nature of the construction. It now resides on show awaiting a proper stand at Swanwick Nature Reserve. To understand the shear delight you must first understand how it was built

    I studied with Treelife and have to say the way they delivered, supported and assisted outside of tutor time was excellent. Worth the money in my view. Oh I would recommend the Westonbirt option as you get 1-on-1 time, review periods, appraisal and hands on work in an environment full of trees to go and practice on when you have 'down time'

    Definitely Damselfly Janey. They fold their wings whereas Dragonflies rest with them open. A good ID tip that is.....

    Possibly Phellinus pomaceus (tuberculosus) and also have a look on Dave Humphries Fungi Directory for clues mate

    Here is your next installment. Week 2 and there are 3 more areas of fungi that have appeared. No kids yet!

    Ah ha! Good afternoon Gerrit, I have a couple more pictures you may like as I know this fungi has illuded you in the past (reading previous threads) so you may enjoy these. I pass this tree on my drive to work each day so I will endeavour to take photos weekly as long as children do not kick them off whilst bored waiting to go in to school!

    When I was there Peacocks were using the tree as a perching site which made it even more magical. They have courdoned off the tree with discrete ropes and stakes to discourage potential tree climbers (children-and mine included) as it all looks so fragile under the canopy. There is a ginormous Yew hedge that surrounds the whole place that is a manicured delight. If I can find my pics I'll post some on here as that too is as good as this tree!

    Walking to the shop yesterday peered over a fence and wow this was sat on a stump!

    Hope you don't mind me adding a few pictures to your collection Hama? I found all these at Corsham Court a year or so ago and forgot all about them

    I have been to visit the tree many times and here is a picture showing how big it is. I posted people on the outer limbs so you can get a feel for the size...enjoy

    A food cache a bird or animal forgot about maybe? I found a Birch cavity full of mush the other day and it was the dreaded HF, so your bootlace theory may not hold water - well not as much as that mush did anyway!! :lol:

    Happy birthday trooper, I guess you'll just be getting up about now with a thick head??

    Surviving...just...it has been like this for the 5 years since I fisrt met this beast. Woodpeckers, fungi, cattle and the weather have all but decimated this fine old girl.

    Found this 'stored coppice' of Sweet Chestnut at the weekend...a beauty in my books and the only sweet chestnut on the site; strange; so why is it here?
  18. armybloke
    Found this lurking at Swanwick NR. Fabulous bat habitat and a decent crack in the wood too. You can see daylight through it!

    A day at Hilliers...again! As for the pigs...well they are just looking after the woodland too

    A day at Hilliers...again!

    Will do and thanks for the direction

    Found this immature FFB on a very old Sycamore. It is buried in a butress and very difficult to get to. I took no sample as it is so young. I would be grateful if anyone could shed some light on to what I am looking at or likely to be looking at please? I have had a search on Dave's fungi directory but have come up with a blank!
  23. armybloke
    You can eat the flowers so it has some value even if it does take over the garden!

    Is that one of the Smurfs looking at you lying on his back??

    Gentlemen, whilst you digest each others comments, accolades and indifferences I would like to add that the resource that David has kindly afforded so much time to (Fungi Directory) and the information Tony and Gerrit (and others) have passed on to increase the 'data bank' I personally have appreciated and used the information extensively. Primarily to enable me to learn the 'fungi' in order that I pass my courses with confidence and now to enhance my knowledge and use it in situations that I may find myself in on a daily basis whilst protecting and preventing the demise of our luscious landscape. Gracious to you all for your input and knowledge.
