That's what everyone said about the French bloke, I wonder if he's landed yet?

Proper unhinged grey matter u reckon...

Phellinus on pyrus? Bit of a stab in the dark!

Which one? I'll try and check when I next go past out of curiosity, why would you be interested if it was pfiefferi? -

Couple of pics, only a little'un! Bottom left of cavity

As far as I'm aware you don't have to wear gloves when using a top handled saw, in tree or mewp
-
Nope, why?
-
A quick call and chat with the TO concerned would be a necessity in my mind. Save any potential unpleasantness
-
Well that sums it up! Thank you
-
Thank you

But what if there are signs of hollowing, eg bottle butt, fibre buckling etc, but no fbs? Or only fbs of one fungus, when, unknown, more than one may be causing decay?
-
It has been said, very logically so, that to accurately assess a picus test you must know what decay fungi is present. I am now wondering, if no fruit body is present how do you know? Surely invasive sample taking and lab id would not be feasible? Also, what of colonization by more than one species of fungi, perhaps with only fbs of one present? Is it safe to assume and base results on one being present, if you don't know something else isn't also in there? Any ideas welcomed! Thanks
-
Ok. So the l amythistina is associated with the young trees (ie first stage), so is it also associated with middle/over mature beeches? And if not, how does it fit in with Gerrits tsse and succession of mycorhizal species?
-
Sorry if I am derailing the thread somewhat, but is the phenomenon of L amythestina panic fruiting and new root growth limited on beech to Merip, or can other root degrading parasites cause it? Thanks
-
Tis not a tree at all, ya sneak....
-
Thanks for the info
-
Beech often show distinctive root flare with merip, dont they? Even before the first fbs show up...
-
Hard to make out in the photo on my little phone screen, but I'd say Meripilus giganteus, or is it a pile of leaves!?
-
I'd be very wary of any climbing gear for that price on eBay. Fakes have so I hear been a problem on there before. Be careful, its your life on the line!
-
I'm gonna stick my neck out (and wait for the chop!) here by saying P involutus still has the ability to act saprotrophic fungi. Can't remember from the list Gerrit kindly posted whether Salix is endo or ecto or both though...
-
Why rosaceous?
-
Depends a bit on what you know already. Shigos modern Arboriculture is good, old but not outdated. Also, do a search on here for hamadryads book club for a chance to try before you buy

Oh, missed by a mile! Any idea when its due for release?
