    Correct Darren, that is until someone decides to rename it again in another few years. These scientific names are constantly changing and being updated I try to keep up with them but sometimes you reach a wider audience by sticking to older names. .

    The mycorrhyzal associated rooting bolete (Boletus radicans) here on the roots of oak. Sulphur yellow pores and the last image shows the blue staining when the flesh is exposed to air. .

    Looks to be a vascularly/healthy and functional tree, which may be able to survive a reduction or set of retrenchments. Have you tried sounding the buttresses/trunk with a nylon headed hammer? The brackets do look like G. applanatum rather than G. australe but I would be looking for a confirmation via microscopy (looking at the spore size) to determine which one scientifically. They have different decay strategies. My advise would be to get the species of Ganoderma confirmed and then get a consultant in with access to picus/resistograph. Of course that entirely depends on the clients budget and their appetite to keep the tree in its setting. .

    Midi-chlorians obviously intelligent microscopic life forms that lived symbiotically inside the cells of all living things. When present in sufficient numbers, they could allow their host to detect the pervasive energy field known as the Force. .
