  1. Hmm, I hate how women's minds work! You really can't win
  2. Would have been too easy with the base don't worry, take more than that to tar your rep!
  3. Many factors to consider, site soil conditions would be so variable as to be impossible to give general species depth tables. What is the purpose of the barrier? To prevent incremental root growth damage/lifting?
  4. Well done Graham, very quick off the mark! Tony, out of interest, what made you say nay to it? I guess if you don't need it Graham you'd be happy for mattmoss to take it? If so Matt pm your address and I'll send it on. Some more pics just for the sake of it... the 'root' a mature fruit body, unfortunately my phone autofocused on my jeans! the distinctive stem groove a typical dense tuft Perhaps Tony you could explain the body language in the following images if you have the time and inclination? The setting is a large predominantly oak woodland, part cleared for development maybe 30 years ago, this tree and others now in an informal mown lawn, beside main access road. Tree crown is full and healthy, no die-back...
  5. My little girl (19 months) learning how to safely start a saw. Currently learning which leaves flowers fruits etc in the woods and hedges are edible, and which are spikey!
  6. Seems to be a broken link?
  7. No longer part of the Innonotus genus then?
  8. Would it help hama if I said it forms dense tufts at the base of deciduous trees, and you'll kick yourself when you hear the answer. Free or adnexed gills, whitish in this young specimen, becoming reddish brown with age. And a tough fibrous pliable stem which gets fatter toward the middle, and what you can't see in the photo is that it gets characteristically thin at the bottom. Care to hazard a guess?
  9. Inspired by tonys close up thread here http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=37360 first person to guess (considered guesses please!) the fungi gets the vta leaflet It's not as grand a prize as a Collins fungi guide, mostly because I'm tight, and I just don't use this! Maybe someone else will benefit from it Here is the first pic...
  10. Aha! I see what you mean about the holes the reason I went back to vt is it does just that just need to find the the combination of rope/cord : hitch length : wraps & braids. Worked a treat for me anyway...
  11. I used to a few years ago, then moved to back to vt. Still use it occasionally on my lanyard. Can I ask why you don't have cord on the same biner as the pulley?
  12. I think we both took enough trips in our youth! Some tequila I wouldn't turn down though
  13. Sounds like a good excuse for a holiday, maybe that will get her over her fear of flying!
  14. Aha, that would be it thank you. Shame its gonna die, maybe I could have a few of its babies when they're ready
  15. Leaves very aloe like, but not your typical barbadensis...
  16. My wife saw this, and now wants one any ideas? The flower spike is about 4m tall! The buds look like they hadn't opened yet... Cheers all
  17. :eek::eek: what. the. ****. :eek::eek:
  18. Fruit like Alder...
  19. The first pic of the 'Brucie thread'? Nah, don't be silly!
  20. No I didn't, I'll have to go back in the next few months and see what I see
  21. I bet that was a interesting fell!
  22. Your right, it is a terrible effort I owe this thread one lunge
  23. It didn't seem quite right for a forming Fistulina, a bit too soft, I think it must have been though. Could a hard frost have stopped it 'dead' at that stage perhaps?
  24. Those caps do look kinda honey coloured
  25. Roadside collapse in Wales at Christmas, dodgy photo also of the Ganoderma sp. in the extensive cavity... I think it was a sycamore, but cant remember for certain
