Whilst I agree up to a point, where do you draw the line? Non leather boots (or any substitute product) may well cause harm to other animals/people in its production and transport. Such as increased energy required to produce it stemming from extra coal mining, or being developed in institutions which could be involved in testing on animals, or poor working conditions/child labour in its raw material production. If you have a pet dog would you kill any ticks or flees it may have? What about day to day products and living - drive a car? Use anything like a mobile phone/computer? All the vast habitats and creatures destroyed to make way for material mining, drilling, transport networks, rainforest deforestation for rubber, palm oil, even Brazil nuts, are immense compared to slaughtering a well cared for free range animal to feed many mouths and make use of all its body parts like leather. Even the house you live in probably caused the death and loss of home for many animals. And then there is the issue of what do class as a sentient being?! I really don't mean to sound like a ranting animal murderer. I very much care for animal welfare and support the free range organic farmers rather than buying mass produced, battery farmed meat etc. Equally I am not trying to belittle your beliefs and dietary choices, just wondering where you draw the line and what you base you views on.

On a dead horse chestnut stump today - Gano australe? Xylaria polymorpha A little Merip, struggling on... Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Found these boletes under a fairly young apple tree today, also many that looked identical under horse chestnut only without the cracking caps. The lack of cracking may have been due to a more shady damp location, maybe... Any clues on species? I didn't see any discolouration, and they just smelled (smelt?) nice and mushroomy.

Don't know the name, but I think it was an elm if that helps... Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Came across these earlier, look like rosemary beetles, but smaller. Very metallic green/iridescent, and munching away on the top layer of the leaves on this poplar tree. Any ideas what they are? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Eh?! You can Italian red leaved varieties, that'd be £2.70 for 100g of seeds though surely! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Rabbits like em. Supposed to be good for digestive discomfort too. Is this the start of an edible wild plants and their uses thread then? Great idea. Another obvious one: dandelions. Leaves as salad, roots roasted and used as coffee. Also acorns can be roasted and used like coffee. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Yep, I reckon so Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

I expect it would be fine. To be extra safe you could hand dig around any larger roots, and place plastic sheeting in the hole before the concrete goes in. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

There was some posted on arbtrader a few days ago. Digiterra I think runs on a windows mobile gps data logger/pda, most things do. I've not heard good things about mobile based apps, if nothing else the battery life is terrible! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Wow a3 colour lasers are expensive! Think I may have to try the cleaning method on this, replace if no good, and only buy genuine from now on. A4 b&w laser alongside isn't a bad idea, I'll have to see whats about. Cheers all Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Hmmm, is laser the way to go then? I dont use much colour, this was the first change in the year and a bit I've had it, but it is essential for me. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Hi all, any techy types able to help me? I have an hp 7500 wide format printer (just out of warranty) which won't print blue. After print quality got a bit patchy I replaced all the cartridges with reconditioned ones from cartridgesave site. Now blue hardly if at all comes out. Ive run the clean cycle and the 'second stage' clean several times and get a message to inform me if quality is still not acceptable I need a new printhead, which is more than the printer costs?! I had similar with my last printer after removing an old cartridge to take to the shop with me, apparently if out too long they dry up. It was a cheap printer and I needed a larger one anyway so no bother, this is as I need to print documents asap. Where the cartridge sits in the printhead it will make your finger blue, and as my blue mouth will confirm, ink does flow freely from the cartridge. Any suggestions please.

Just a quick comment regarding yours of sulphur coloured fungi: the location (coming up from the ground) and form, in my experience, doesn't fit Laeti. It also looks to me like a camera flash could well have washed out or played funny games with the 'true to life' colour of the fungi, I've seen similar happen before. Maybe we'll never know for sure Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Aside from the huge potential for damage, and the shear crack which may or may not pass through the entire diameter of the tree, one has to question the fungi ID. I doubt the Ganoderma is lucidum, more like applanatum/lipsiense, and the L. sulphureus looks more like Meripilus giganteus. The photos aren't great and I don't know what fungi you have your side of the pond, but if I'm right the Meripilus being misidentified as Laetiporus opens up a whole different kettle of kippers... I certainly wouldn't want to associate myself with any liability for that tree based on someone's request without seeing it in person. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app
