    More likely to be Meripilus, but the FRDBI does show records from Fagus British Fungi - record details I've found Grifola on hosts other than oak (cherry recently) but not personally found it on beech. .

    Unlikely to be terminal, it will probably be localised around the wound. .

    Slime flux, bacterial wet wood .

    Perhaps a Psilocibe species any weird dreams since or Fairy Ring Champignon (Marasmius oreades) Who knows, at the end of the day they're all just a bunch of fung .

    More importantly what was the I'd on the fairy ring in the foreground of the last shot. Looks a good shout on the bolete .

    I witnessed an ancient Yew go brown (like your subject) and then recover after being mulched, watered and fertilised. I would think the soil around the yew needs improving. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/picture-forum/52784-totteridge-yew.html .

    Hello Ollie, Do you mean the oak in the middle of this shot? We have some other issues going on around the immediate locality of this particular tree that may or may not have an effect on what we can do with it. Long term (next 5-10 years) I would like to reduce the sail. .

    Its called Judges Walk. Immeadiately after the great fire the courts were temporarily held at Hampstead Assizes & the Judges would walk along the avenue of trees at the top of this path whilst considering their verdict.....hence the name. .

    Feel free to post away, I'm old enough & ugly enough not to worry about how I look in public these days No shots of Primrose Hill sadly, as I'm focussed on Hampstead .

    People may change but places tend to stay the same. taking out a couple of dead roadside elms today, where the ghosts of victorian children still linger in a snap shot taken in time...... .

    indeed ! bit of a bonus really as I was due to be doing something else today with some TO's who cried off due to the rain silver linings for those of us with low (fungal inspired) apsirations I guess .

    came upon these Collard Earthstars on larch whilst out inspecting Geastrum triplex .

    Although you'd expect to see more scales on the cap and lower stem, I would think that these are Pholiota squarrosa Have a look at the species gallery in the fungi directory in the tabs above .

    The heaviest lift for us was just over a ton towards the last couple of picks.. As far as I understand it, lifting that kind of timber on a crane like that requires it to be static and have its out riggers deployed, so not able to track with weight. Sounds like you've got a bit of a head scratcher to plan out. .

    I'll Pm you .

    Might be worth getting a few quotes Jay, we used GGR group earlier this year on an oak removal. UNIC URW-706 .

    Scleroderma citrinum - the common earth ball, here on beech roots .

    We use our sets on Vertex just ordered another set recently so that all of us are in the comms loop during operations that require them. were a blessing during this mornings roadside job. .

    Although this one fell in a storm a few years back, I'm sure there's other notable ones.......... "The Newbattle Abbey Sycamore Sycamore has long been naturalised in Scotland and has the capacity to live to a great age. The sycamore with the oldest known planting date (1550) in Scotland is the handsome, open-grown tree which graces the frontage to Newbattle Abbey, near Dalkeith. Over 450 years it has attained"
