    Anyone experienced with making jerky in an oven? Had a quick look online and it seems easy enough, wondered if anyone has any recipes or tips...

    A Palm I think, possibly from south America, could be wrong though. Any luck with a base board yet?

    Not that I'm aware of. I know it's hellishly sticky, but imagine it would dry. Who knows...

    Ok, so now I'm thinking it's not Phellinus pomaceus. Same genus? If so I'll let someone else pick it up from here...

    Verrrry spikey...

    Ooo, good one. On prunus?
  8. sloth
    Yep, your turn?

    Gonna need more to go on. Were the decayed broken roots soft and wet, fibrous and dry, stringy, smelly, discoloured, hard and brittle? An educated (wild) guess could be Armillaria, or Pholliota squarossa is pretty common on ash roots ime. Could well be. Does the railway embankment get a hefty regular dose of glyphosate which could have drifted through? No idea on this I'm afraid...

    Here we go, an alien invader to this island...

    That's a pretty big hint before the image is up! I'll dig one out and crop it soon...

    Excellent, I'll keep my eyes out for something while out and about...

    Hmmm, missed this when posted. Red cracked bolete? Is it a recent picture?

    Mattheck's Chinese moustaches, no?

    Don't encourage him! ...even if he does have a good point or two now and then

    Very well put. I know as an employee I have taken down lots of trees due to the owners unfounded fears of it falling and damaging 'something or nothing' over the years. Often half way through felling a chat to the owner was along the lines of "it's a lovely old tree, I'm very sad to see it go, but now it's grown so big it's dangerous. It really moves in the wind." Me "oh right, yeah, shame that" Makes me wonder how many safe trees are removed because the owner feels it is isn't, without any of the people quoting saying otherwise. It could be compared to roofing. Little old calls up "my roofs getting old now and I don't want it to start leaking" Dodgy geeza "well I could coat it with this special waterproofer, or I could strip it and re-tile. Good for another 30 years then." A decent roofer would check it, say it needs nothing and is in good nick. Plenty of rogue traders would go the other route, 'just to keep her happy'.

    Just to add, a few photos of the trees and ground around them wouldn't go amiss, and even though it's bugger all work I'd pay well...

    As above, I might need someone local to Ilford to look at two trees for me. I'd just need basic information like species, height and spread, only ten minutes work. From Google street view it looks like a holly and a spruce maybe, neither any taller than the gutter of the house they're next to. If you can help PM me please, if get the go ahead I'll need it done asap. Cheers

    Amazon are a bugger for this...

    I guess a reduction could buy it some time, but a large sycamore with kretz next to a busy road or building has no long term future...

    Not just overflow from a water filled crotch?

    Great example David. I once had a bank note sized piece of dried out L sulphureus 'mycelial felt' from a failed oak limb. Spent about a year in my chainsaw trouser pocket before crumbling!

    If she says...

    sloth posted a topic in The Lounge

    ...don't get anything for my thirtieth... Just ignore it! Get something anyway, it's been a month and I'm still getting comments! If I say don't get me anything, then I don't expect anything

    It's a great book, I think Amazon actually print and sell it now
