Hard to tell from the pic but does look like oyster, Pleurotus ostreatus. Not likely to cause decline on oak, something else maybe root loss as you suggest will have stressed (or killed part of) the tree. Any wider shots of the trees surroundings? Edit: red bugs; no idea!

For those interested; 6lb4oz, 3 weeks early, but healthy Went for Eben William. Thanks to all who replied

Ditto though I have been known to hug the odd tree...
-
That's what I thought, I just like the idea of it being real (and someone being nuts enough to do it). Oh well, I'll have to keep searching for a another role model....

Not posted a you tube thing before so hope this works... I don't know much about bailers, but imagine this wouldn't be possible and is staged/faked. Please tell me I'm wrong! :eek:
-
Best of luck to you, be a great place to work!

Oh, sorry I thought 'failed to connect to forum, message not sent?' meant what it said! -
It seems I can't send a pm from my phone, so... 101 goring road, Colchester, Essex, co4 0db Looking forward to it, another to add to my list of future purchases I reckon! Many thanks again, Kevin

No need to apologise, pm coming your way. Glad you've been busy better than nothing to do!

Plenty of people here to answer your questions! Maybe your research will be the start of a deeper understanding and appreciation of nature... Scots pine is host to Phaeoleus schweinitzii and Sparissis crispa. Oak is heart rotted by Fistulina hepatica, Leatiporous sulphureus, Innonotus dryadeus and more. Beech by Ganoderma pfeifferi and others. I don't know how frequent these are in Scotland as I live in Essex, but that will hopefully get you started. Out of interest what relevance do these have to the play, or would that be telling!
-
Very poignant images, would suit a series on the subject in an art gallery nicely done
-
Yep, same feeding pattern you see on old greenhouse glass
-
Both interesting, thank you. Now that I think of it, didn't Hama think he'd found galls on australe?
-
Gerrit, do you know what physical difference between Ganoderma lipsiense and australe Agathomyia wankowiczii (spelling?) looks for? I presume it knows, somehow, which is which before laying its eggs; or does it lay eggs in both but they only grow on the one sp? I wonder if it was known what the fly looks for, if the information could be used to devise/create a field test to distinguish them. Or is this a late night fantasy?! Thanks as always, Kev

Blind date? :sly:
-
Hmm, other links work ok. Strange....
-
I was and still am very sceptical, especially using wood decomposing oyster or shiitake?! However it seems she was a student of Stamets, so presumably she knows what sheds doing! I think a shift in how the dead are dealt with wouldn't be a bad thing, when I'm gone just chuck me in a hole. The worms and insects will see to me...

When I click on 'example' through tapatalk, I end up here, http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t= Is that right?

Is this http://digitaljournal.com/article/320986 the solution to this http://www.theinertia.com/environment/plastic-now-found-on-every-beach-in-the-world/ ?

Air-spading.....what a waste of time and money!
sloth replied to Paul Barton's topic in General chat
They do look very useful. out of interest, in something like your last shot David how would you consolidate the soil back around the roots? And do you work to a known criteria for evaluating the risk associated/extent of any rot roots? Thank you... -
Always difficult to tell from photos, but does look iffy. Are they in a position (qualified) to comment on its safety? Would make a nice habitat pole

My initial thought was big limb torn off years ago, this reinforces that thought.

I reckon so, level 4 arb replaced tech cert this year...

Instagram?
