Just to add if anyone is interested, when this fruited last year it was 90 degrees further round the trunk to the left, about a metre from the base and 3 times the size. But no photo...

Hi all, this may seem like (indeed, it is) a daft question. I suspect I know the answer, but a seed of doubt has been planted and Id like confirmation of my thoughts. Trees (Q rubra in this case) leaves do not wilt like suffering a lack of water before getting their autumn colours and falling. They remain 'upright' and turgid while getting their colour, then dry and fall. Correct? Thank you...

This oak was topped/pollarded I think two seasons ago. Threw out some new growth the following year, dead this year. [ATTACH]100245[/ATTACH][ATTACH]100246[/ATTACH] I suspect the merip in attendance liked the stress put upon the tree very much [ATTACH]100247[/ATTACH][ATTACH]100248[/ATTACH]

Truly bizarre did he track down the owner?

I would hope so!

Im shocked you've no takers. A couple of years ago before my priorities changed with wife and children, Id have seen this as a golden opportunity. -
I too wondered if it meant a PZ with circumference 4x that of the trunk, but thought it wouldn't be much bigger really.

Hi all just a quick one... If a non statutory undertaker, eg builder, wants to bung a water pipe or any other service through a trees precautionary zone as per njug4 (clearly damaging roots) and the tree is in conservation area, should a s211 notice be given to the la? Cheers for your thoughts, Kev
-
Cheers for the replies everyone, some good points and comments
-
Any advance on this?
-
It is a little unclear in the document, but I would take as you have. I also think to a general builder or layman having a quick look the PZ in the diagram is just the canopy spread. I think it could be much clearer...
-
Sounds dodgy. I think ill put up with it! Cheers though l:beer:
-
Nice pic I'll try that advice ta. Also is it too much to hope you know how to turn off the camera noises, they really bug me and I can't figure it out!
-
I can't remember, will have to check. The surface was only very slightly felty. I thought fissilis was a saprobe, and get the impression this fungi has invaded living tissues. Know nothing of spumeus MO though? Have either been found on sorbus, where is it you and David look btw? I have a galaxy s2 now and while it has an 8 mega pixel camera I feel the close ups aren't great. I go past it again on Friday, could get some macro shots with an optical zoom camera instead. Or even post you a slice! This one is bugging me
-
Looking in Collins and Philips when i first found it, that or Spongepilus spumeus (spelling?) is what i was leaning towards. I hoped a more mature fb and a slice would help. Looking now i think more Spongepilus, why do you say Aurantiporous? If it is either I'd be happy
-
1-3 pores per mm. Pore layer around 10mm thick, but may thicken as brackets mature. No sign of spore deposit/colour below brackets.
-
Ok, pics... Its no longer pure white. Smells tasty. Very fibrous flesh. Pores do not easily separate from cap. Still soft throughout. Slightly felty or rough on top. Gonna look it up later but any suggestions in the mean time?
-
And ill be the second, feels good don't it? Honestly, the first few weeks/months are real shock and hard work. But it gets so much better with first smiles etc:thumbup: good weight, good name, hope mum you and little man are ok, sleep well!

Despite having a family life I fully intend on being here http://www.britmycolsoc.org.uk/mycology/the-british-mycological-society-autumn-open-meeting/ Saturday 17th November Anybody else I can expect to see?
-
Is there a reference for which species are specific/generalist? Or is your brain just a sponge of gleaned information!
