A very handsome fungi I've got no reference books to hand, but would suggest Pholiota mutabilis and await David's correction!
-
Perhaps best not name sharers of copyrighted material in public! mind you, could be any number of Phil's...
-
Would you mind elaborating about the way they absice please? How does it differ from other species? Cheers...

I think it is found on cedar. Could also be Coniophora puteana, diagnosis of ill health in trees has it as liking cedar and other sp, and also fire damage...

Rhytissma? Seen plenty in Essex...

Still in leaf obviously but here she is one month on. The leati brackets have all merged to form a solid lump, and the resi is gone, possibly cut off. Strange as a couple of small epicormic branches have gone from just above head height over the path as well, why cut off one fungi but not the other? The mind ponders....

Both is a little pricey right now, think I'll go for FSWDT unless someone convinces me the book which is twice as much is twice as useful or good! Cheers:thumbup:

Do you know? Its bugging me!

Bump bump...

I know the thoughts regarding pruning walnut in full leaf etc, what about roots? Do you think they'd bleed in the same way as branches? When do you think would be the best time to prune them? Thoughts experiences and opinions welcome thanks!

Im looking to treat myself to a new book, either 'fungal strategies of wood decay in trees' or 'diagnosis and prognosis of the development of wood decay in urban trees'. Who has read both? What are they key differences aside from price between the two? Which would you choose and why? Thank you...

Good advice. The wood is snappy and the bark peels. It is predictably unpredictable when the hinge will go! So don't rely on the hinge alone to swing a long branch where you want it, pull/lowering ropes or cut and Chuck smaller bits

I shouldn't have said easy I thought a fair size pollard 'should' be easy. If its been done before, great. If not and its proper big then its lop and top = bigger stem wood and a bit trickier. Also by 3 or 4 years climbing in my experience it should be fairly straight forward provided there's no awkward rigging. The OP will have a second climber/arial rescue present? How experienced are they, second opinion and moral support always good Very true, a workmate nearly lost his arm up a 20 foot pine a couple years ago. An easy tree turned red and sticky very quickly. Scary. Expect the unexpected and have a first did kit suited to chainsaw injuries even on small domestic or private jobs. It really would save your life... Good luck btw! Im sure you'll breeze it really:thumbup:

A fine prize indeed... Im on it!
