  1. sun light bouncing off the moisture/ice particles in the Cirrocumulus cloud? .
  2. Nice shiluette mate, also really like the chimney smoke drifting through the trees in the previous post. Did you get to take any images from your recent 'urban forest' visit? .
  3. You're welcome, I'm sure you will get other members chipping in with good advice. I'm just keen to see that video out there. .
  4. Have a look at the Vetree video on restoring and working on old fruit trees. Some good pointers within and a good resource to keep. [ame] [/ame] .
  5. Nice set of Sarcoscypha coccinea Julian, unless ofcourse microscopy shows them to be one of the other Sarcoscypha species? .
  6. You are hence forth banned from posting any fungal threads without high quality images. .
  7. Flammulina saved from the woodburner..........unless I can't be arsed to brave the cold trip to the wood store, then it's funghi flambé tonight .
  8. What Bolam and I get up to in private is our business, we're both consenting adults. "Bolam busting my balls" is a closer translation .
  9. Well planned takedown and really informative video. I really wish more Arbs (myself included) were inspired to tell the whole tree story rather than just focusing on the dismantling. Thanks for sharing Darrin . .

  11. From the book 'Fungal Enzymes' by Maria de Lourdes T. M. Polizeli, Mahendra Rai These are 'some' of the enzymes listed, worth your while taking the time to research them individually to understand their place in the breakdown process. Invertase, cellulase, hemicellulase, pectinase, protease, laccase, phytase. .
  12. You're a 'special case' Gary, very reasonable rates for you .
  13. Mostly iPad but Pc if I need to access my images. .
  14. Yep dryadeus again. Our fee for changing thread titles has just gone up this year to three gazillion pounds .
  15. I think this is an old Psuedoinonotus dryadeus .
  16. More common on beech but we've found it on oak earlier this year. .
  17. Looks like Inonotus sp Perhaps....... Inonotus cuticularis - Clustered Bracket - David Humphries’s Fungi Directory - Arbtalk.co.uk | Discussion Forum for Arborists .
  18. I'm not convinced it's Laetiporus Gary, but I wouldn't rule it out. That's why I'm agreeable with Chris's Id, based on that image. I would want to see more detail of that example, like wider context .
  19. I'd concur with Chris's Id's, though would like to see a wider context image of the resupinate one on the cherry? .
  20. That's an interesting observation Jon, thanks for sharing. I teased the soil away from the roots before planting it just to see how they had developed as it had been about a couple of years since I last took a good look at them at the last repotting. They were fairly well developed, but you're right that artificial establishment is no substitute for the real deal. .
  21. The other trees haven't been there for at least thirty years that I've known it. I have absolutely no idea how long the old pine will stay standing. It has Phaeolus schweinitzii throughout the stem and Heterobasidion annosum in the roots. The tethers we placed on it will keep it standing longer than it would have without them. The secondary woodland that's grown up around it will (to some degree) also protect it from strong gales. Yes I agree, replacements should have already been on the go, but better late than never. .
