That is good to hear Rob. Hope your new job is treating you well, things are a little bit quiter round here without you contributing so much. .. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app -
A good day indeed. Yesterday I stumbled over a fence and landed less than a metre from a woodpecker on the ground. An hour later I saw a kingfisher for the third time in my life. I'm not a twitcher, but they certainly added some colour to the day! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Never come across radiatus, thought I spotted some earlier, but on closer inspection was just armillaria Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app -
Although I used to hate conny topping like that, especially in the rain, there's something really satisfying when you can look back and it's all lovely and level. Looks so different from the ground, you'd never know what work had gone into it! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Not a fungi/host you've noted either? There were a couple in this area, odd as there loads of oak and willow nearby which had none. Mostly ganos, and lots of merip on the beeches... Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app -
More likely to be Phaeoleus schwienitzii, brown rotter same Laeti Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Leatiporous here on (and off) alder, a new combo to me. Woody woodpecker seems to like it... Also, why have my pics uploaded with the app started being sideways? Never used to Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app -

Three yr old daughter: can we get a kitten? Me: No way! We already have two cats, two rabbits and a chinchilla. Daughter: Mum can we get a kitten? Me: If you say yes I'll move out... ...... ....... Daughter: Ok. You can visit though. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Nope, is that the one on Mersea Rd? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Hi all, my dad is on the lookout for a trailer around Colchester. Something around 12 feet long to tow with a disco, amongst other things for moving fencing/hedging supplies from shop to field. If anyone has or knows of one for sale, I'll happily pass on the details. Cheers! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Looks a definate possibility. If it is it will have a very distinctive groove down the length of the stem, which will also taper to a point at the ground. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Cheers Colleti, the two I've got my eye on look like they've never the road. How might I check the king pins? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

After much deliberation I reckon I'd like a jimny, although I rather hope the suggested mpg of 38 combined can be improved a bit with motorway miles. Seems I'm looking around £1500-2000 for a half decent early 2000's vehicle under 70, 000 miles. Anything to look out for? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

It seems I do have another job nearby in the not too distant future. I will be going back to see how it looks then. Does it make me a nerd to take an hour from my working day to go and check out one fungi!? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Well that's two fungal fanatics voting Gano. Have either of you noted the extreme stretching on any species before? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

No shots of the others im afraid, and not likely to back there anytime soon, will be in a year though. I'll be sure to have another look. It didn't seem the same as the other ganos which had a rather thinner profile. I've never seen ganos white across the whole top before, a fat margin definitely, but this was extreme. The thing really getting me is stretch, is that really just a feature of ganos I've missed for years?! The tree is at Hanningfield reservoir down the path to the east of the cafe on the water, (just over a little wooden bridge, on the right, can't miss it) - if anyone happens to pass in the future I'd love to see how it's developed Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

I know of no specific cases. As said, if the tree is clearly and imminently dangerous, like a partially windblown big beech leaning towards a play area, the council can 'force' its removal. But then the tree owner would be mad to leave it anyway! If its dangerousness is questionable, and the owner wishes to retain it a proper inspection and report is likely the way to go. If the owner does not want to, and the school is concerned, they could offer a compromise on payment for the survey perhaps - try to keep everyone happy. Of course if it is not clearly dangerous the owner is perfectly entitled to do nothing, and explain himself in court 'if' anything went horribly wrong...
