    Light, cream perhaps, but I didn't really get a good look at it as the cap and stem were detached and starting to desiccate and I prefer to leave single specimens like this intact for other fungstas to come across. .

    Interesting short piece by Jeremy Barrell in the recent Hort week concerning council/highway tree inspection resources.... Barrell On....why highway tree inspection regimes must be protected | Horticulture Week .

    a few good looking fung from a walk this arvo...... Leccinum aurantiacum - the americans call the Red-capped Scaber Stalk, here associating with aspen Amanita rubescens - the Blusher, associating with hornbeam Unknown Boletus species Polyporus squamosus - the Dryads saddle on beech Gymnopilus junonius - the Spectacular Rustgill, associating with dysfunctional hornbeam root & Amanita phalloides - the Death Cap, associating with lime .

    Buxus sempervirens - common box .
  6. David Humphries
    any evidence of rhizomorphs around the associated buttress? .

    Certainly has a very fine eye and patience for representing a realistic view of the biomechanics of old trees, most impressive. Just to clarify, the exhibition is at 'Kennington' Park Road not 'Kensington' Different sides of the River and about 6 miles apart .

    Were the gills as orange as they look in the image? .

    clean job Out of interest, was it being removed because it had had a historical limb failure? .

    Thanks Shane, 'Grantchester Meadows' has always struck a chord with me & is one of my favourite Floyd tracks. It's pastoral theme suited the images nicely I thought. Penned (45 years ago !) as a tribute by Roger Waters to his early childhood memories in and around the countryside of Cambridge which is fairly local to where I now live. .

    Total fallacy it's actually only the purple and marmalade ones Mark .

    Thanks fellas, pleased you enjoyed it. Always surprises me once I take the time to look at a collection of species together, just how diverse they really all are. .

    a look at the sheer diversity of fungal fruiting bodies......... .

    Interesting development. The main question I'd be posing to myself with the hindsight of its history and having a feel for it's surroundings, would be whether I'd be comfortable with it surviving an unseasonal big blow with its full summer/autumnal jacket on? How much foliar mass was removed ? The fruit body spread out into the rhizosphere is a significant concern in terms of linear root dysfunction and subsequent decay. How were the leaves this year? .
  15. David Humphries
    Xerocomus species Clustered in with the Boletus genus I think .
  16. David Humphries
    Daedalea quercina here on an oak stump, but not on the felled trunk which has Laetiporus fruiting. makes me think the Daedalea has invaded after the fell, with the Laeti keeping it out of the trunk. .
  17. David Humphries
    better steer clear of this then ! .
  18. David Humphries
    nice looking 'tour de trees' look forward to seeing more .

    Get them to stick a pot on top of it with some trailing plants.............vouloir .

    we're fully qualified in GiaT (givin' it a tug) & can do it for £995 Have you tried giving Paul Muir a call at Treeworks? .

    Some useful information.... http://www.lbp.org.uk/downloads/Publications/Management/stag_advice.pdf .

    The stag beetle is protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, as amended, and listed as a priority species for the UK and particularly in the London Biodiversity Action Plan. Having said that my interpretation of the legislation is that its only protected from being collected & sold. (this is from a 2000 English Nature doc, so may have been updated) The habitat (or loss of) is what's specifically important. If you can get the owners to agree to keeping it then that's the best scenario possible. What makes you sure there is presence of the beetle in the stump? .
  23. David Humphries
    do you think they are just elongated pores rather than teeth? A clearer orientated image would be more useful. Which species do you think? Is it found in the US? .
  24. David Humphries
    Great story of an inspiring man, and well told to boot Thanks for sharing Mario .
  25. David Humphries
    That gives more credence to Kevin's thoughts .
