    Just seeing the association is good enough for me, thanks again for sharing .
  2. David Humphries
    Wouldn't disagree, and won't be going down that avenue myself. But they will sell no doubt. .

    3 models (2 sizes) apparantly - steel, Ali and gold. Wireless charging .

    So who'll be first to have an iWatch then? Apple Watch revealed alongside iPhone 6 and iOS 8 announcements ? live updates | Technology | theguardian.com .
  5. David Humphries
    Now that is a big log ! What plans for the timber? .
  6. David Humphries
    any clear shots of the gills & stem? With out those features I would guess at one of the Colybia species perhaps C. dryophila Rogers Mushrooms - Collybia dryophila .
  7. David Humphries
    Yep, Meripilus giganteus. Gnome posted this association up the other day. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/fungi-pictures/49997-meripilus-giganteus-giant-polypore-its-host-range-5.html post 48 .

    Hey Drew, Were Cossman and Kourounis part of the original expedition or just a couple of Johnny come lately volcano dippers ? Looks like there's been a recent trip. Man walks into crater of an active volcano - video | World news | The Guardian .
  9. David Humphries
    I would agree with Coprinus micaceus .

    Loads of good ident references out there. For a general book to have at hand I would suggest the Collins Complete guide to British Mushrooms and Toadstools. For tree related reference, our own Arbtalk Fungi Id App & Fungi on Trees – An Arborists' Field Guide from the AA .
  11. David Humphries
    Nice shots Ian. you should get some resource to help with the Id's, your obviously interested Couple of impressive parasols that my son found this weekend in Thetford forest .

    Meripilus giganteus (Giant polypore) here on Araucaria araucana (Monkey puzzle) seen by Arbtalk member Gnome .
  13. David Humphries
    Cheers Look like Pleurotus pulmonarius on the beech .
  14. David Humphries
    Not long for this world I think. Merip again I reckon. .
  15. David Humphries
    Meripilus giganteus, new association to me. Do you mind if I put it on the Meripilus host thread? http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/fungi-pictures/49997-meripilus-giganteus-giant-polypore-its-host-range.html .
  16. David Humphries
    Congratulations to you all .
  17. David Humphries
    Thanks for link Geoff, very useful I noticed yesterday that we went through the border between EA and private, and there was a clear distinction between managed and 'less' managed. .
  18. David Humphries
    How are rivers/canals managed in terms of keeping them clear? Imagine its a tall order nationally, and probably comes down to local management. Are stretches regularly inspected or more a case of waiting for public report? Was out on a the little Ouse in Suffolk yesterday for a gentle paddle for a few miles and had to portage around a couple of fallen trees. I checked the web (paddlepoints) before we set off and knew about one of them but not both. .
  19. David Humphries
    A meter off the top would of sufficed, no ? .
  20. David Humphries
    Hollow, like a very hollow thing ! Tricky looking job John. Any fruit bodies present? .
  21. David Humphries
    Fantastic shots Reg ! Young miss Coates looks at home up there, what a great experience for her 5 already , wow Do the Vultures ever buzz you much when you're up high cutting? .
  22. David Humphries
    As I suspect you already realise, the hollowing of the central lower core is not of major significance when it comes to structural stability. The condition of the the attachment area between the main lateral roots & the buttresses is the primary area of concern here with regards to G resinacem (if it is). In my experience, the uncovering of this zone by the use of hand tools or airspade and then subsequent visual/audio/decay detction assessment, is the only way to be condfident in the retention of a tree like this and its associated targets. (reduced or not depending on level of decay) .
  23. David Humphries
    I think they look like an annual fruiting of Ganoderma resinaceum in the first instance and then their desiccated remains in the second image. .
  24. David Humphries
    Good luck with it Ross at least you'll be able to understand the locals better than those London based Geordie types .
  25. David Humphries
    Yep, Coprinus comatus .
