    I never got the chance to see this tree in the flesh, but AT member 'Forest Imp' kindly passed me this image & blurb about the tree before it failed. The great Caucasian Elm in WorlinghamThis great tree had a severe trim just over three years ago and has never recovered to its former glory. Before it was lopped by tree surgeons it was almost half as large again as it is now. It was originally planted in the open lands of Worlingham Park many years ago before the road in which it stands (Park Drive) was built and lined with houses. More development has since taken place and the latest, built in the late 1970s was named Hornbeam Close, so called because it was thought for many years that it was a hornbeam. .

    Nice looking bit future habitat there Tom. How much extra time did the faffing about add to the job? .

    Last time I looked, the Zelkova is still there behind the main house at Capel. Impressive tree .

    I would imagine this is either applanatum or australe. I would lean toward applanatum, but microscopy to confirm which. .

    Apropriate hood ornamentation for the team fung-mobile Sizable Rigidoporous bracket knocked off its host by an unappreciative bypasser .
  12. David Humphries
    That looked fun & inspirational. Thanks for sharing. .
  13. David Humphries
    Wedge confirms the bracket as Rigidoporous. The other samples could also be Rigidoporous. .
  14. David Humphries
    First one may be Rigidoporous, the pores look orange/cinamon. If you cut a wedge out you get to see the flesh and pore layer which helps with identification. .

    Nice work .

    I haven't yet witnessed a failure due to G. pfeifferi that I am aware of. So we haven't had the opportunity to see how agressive the decay is across a cross section. David Lonsdale notes from field observations that it can lead to extensive decay in Fagus, and can invade functional wood. Two options Fell it Or investigate the dysfunction further with either Picus, resistograph and/or hammer. Early colinisation and normal/good vitality may offer the further option of reduction to reduce/manage the risk Any images of the tree? .

    Thanks to everyone for the continuing support with the messages & donations for Sean & his family. Although incredibly sad, it's times like these where this community which Mr Bullman created back in 2007, comes together really well .

    a short comparison of the hollow beech in & out of leaf [ame] [/ame] .
  19. David Humphries
    Not enough detail in your image really, but I would lean toward Flammulina velutipes rather than Armillaria. .

    lovin the barely audible "COMEON" right at the end when you push the last piece off .
  21. David Humphries
    I think you'll find that comment came from one particular direction .
  22. David Humphries
    On second look, you're probably right with the Ganoderma Tony. Although In my defence I did say they 'look like' Fomes, not that they were. Microscopy has recently led me to be more cautious with my identification. .
  23. David Humphries
    Nice day for a dismantle. What was the reason for the removal? .
  24. David Humphries
    Howdee Simon, Thanks for the link, I hadn't heard of it. We're just about to select a candidate for an apprenticeship on our team. Sounds like a worthwhile project to keep an eye on. .

    Great shots Sam. Immense scale. .
