    Fine looking bracket of Ganoderma pfeifferi on one side of this well colonised beech at Ickworth. .

    slow decline of a large witches broom on pine first shot from 2013, last shot today .
  4. David Humphries
    Long time basal decay (perhaps dryadeus) offering a cosy hole to shelter for this new born on a dreaky spring day at Ickworth .

    Nice to see a good splattering of Arbtalkers at the meeting today. Weather was pants, but the trees, as always, are a treat to see at Ickworth. For those who did brave it here's the Tea Party Oak in all its summer glory. Apologies to those that I didn't get a proper chat with, lots of people, lots of photos .

    being an alternative name for......... Phellinus pomaceus (tuberculosus) - David Humphries’s Fungi Directory - Arbtalk.co.uk | Discussion Forum for Arborists Species data - British fungi .
  7. David Humphries
    The bracket is probably Phellinus pomaceus, the other thing is probably a tree of some kind .

    Consider your self pardoned I don't own a copy of Stamets, he evaded me when he visited the Heath a few years ago, which I've not forgiven him for yet. But for the record, he'd never heard of me or new that I even existed, so he should probably be pardoned n'all .

    That's the point Jake I've had what I would describe as an educated 'guess' in the past and been proven wrong via microscope by mycologists at the Jodrell laboratory at Kew and by my tame local mycologist. Guessing is part of the journey but it really needs to go further to keep on learning about this 'stuff' .
  10. David Humphries
    Yes, better
  11. David Humphries
    Good one, where's that from ? .

    Ask someone who knows and if your post count continues to increase on a fungi photo thread........without posting any fungi photos, you will be summarily impregnated with cordycep spore which will turn you into a zombiefied tree officer that crawls up the nearest dead tree before a sporophore erupts from your cortex and sporulates fung dust everywhere [ame] [/ame] .

    Applanatum/schmaplanatum Text books confuse and contradict the issue of determining appla/australe via morphological/macro features. My advice (for what it's worth) is to not go down the guessing route with these two. Spore + microscope the only sure fire way to tell between the two. .
  14. David Humphries
    That's very cool Jake, did you get to see it go back in after you finished working on it? .
  15. David Humphries
    Getting a bit concerned tbh, they're always appear to be shooting giving me the evil eye of late ! .

    When cutting in to the branch collar and not prunning to BS 3998 has its perks from an Avians perspective, a decade or so down the line. Brown rot of Laetiporus decay is a fair shout I'd guess. .

    Sauron being sneaky trying to hide Barad-dûr behind a Lombardy ! .

    Good share .
  22. David Humphries
    Not polite, they're trained ! .
  23. David Humphries
    Got the nod from our ecologist to a rarity he stumbled across. Sarcoscypha austriaca- the Scarlet Elf Cap .
  24. David Humphries
    Kinda .

    I think that's a good chase down for the Id Can't see anything now that would say its anything other than confragosa. You absolutely sure its not chicken though ?
