    Hi Fred, it's the IML PD400 resistograph. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/tree-health-care/57468-diagnostic-tool-calibration.html .

    Not quite yet .

    Perenniporia & Ganoderma cavitating the base & Inonotus hispidus decay through out the trunk & canopy. Today was its birthday ! .
  7. David Humphries
    Ya think ? .

    the white rot of Inonotus hispidus in ash.... .
  9. David Humphries
    tried a different approach out today...... .

    Thanks for your concern Rob. I was OK, it was a bit like Legolas surfing the giant oliphant in the return of king as it came crashing down to earth .

    With the serious lack of fundamentals on offer, I'm going to go with gut on this and throw Pleurotus cornucopiae in to the ring Rogers Mushrooms - Pleurotus cornucopiae .
  12. David Humphries
    No excuse School boy error .
  13. David Humphries
    What type of gills sean? .
  14. David Humphries
    We needed to reduce this monolith today due to the white rot of the Ganoderma at the base. The branches & upper woody volumes show the brown rot of Laetiporus and the ring (taken from the mid section) shows where the two types of decay co-habit. .
  15. David Humphries
    Chicken of the woods (Laetiporus sulphureus) brown rot, associating with the & middle & upper portions of this willow monolith trunk & Ganoderma lipsiense/applanatum white rot, associating ith the mifddle & lower basal region of the trunk. The tree has been standing dead for 6 years. The Laetiporus images (below) are from 2010, whilst the Ganoderma images (last three) are from today. .
  16. David Humphries
    I wouldn't be able to say without examining it in the flesh Will. Although, it looks to be fairly vital judging by the canopy, trees can stand (reduced) for many years with Ganoderma sp associating. Losing the lower epicormic (albeit more aesthetic) won't actually help matters .
  17. David Humphries
    particularly like the way that the last bit I knocked off the trunk has transformed into another being...... .
  18. David Humphries
    6 years on..... .
  19. David Humphries
    a storm damaged willow that I suspect had/has Laetiporus sulphureus & Ganoderma sp .
  20. David Humphries
    Ganoderma applanatum/lipsiense Will not listed on the app as being associated with Pyrus .
  21. David Humphries
    Discounting the 'cluster' of what ever that is in the background tree for the minute, Owen's young developing fruitbody looks very like a number of young developing fruitbodies of Inonotus hispidus, like the two examples below. Have you got any images of what I. cuticularis looks like in its young developing form? .
  22. David Humphries
    also, when I've found Inonotus cuticularis fruiting its predominantly fruiting from a wound like in the above shots, not through the bark like Owens, no? (again, accepted that I. hispidus does fruit from canker strips & open wounds) .
  23. David Humphries
    I see why you've made that association (due in part to host), but I would imagine that the clustered bracket would more often than not fruit as a cluster rather than a singular fruit body as with Owens example, no? more like in these shots below of I. cuticularis on beech.... (although accepted that I. hispidus does fruit in tiers as well as singular brackets) .
  24. David Humphries
    a look at differing styles at work over the last 8 years or so .
  25. David Humphries
    Nice Ben Bet the shade under those on a hot day is welcome. Do you see lapsed pollards like these brought back into cycle where you are? Is there any plane wilt (Ceratocystis platani) in your specific region of France ? .
