Hmmm, interesting! Perhaps better asked on the uktc, where (i think, but may be wrong) more tree officers post...

That's an impressive figure. Where can I find the source for this? Do you know how the stability was measured, and what measurement the 15% refers to? Thank you...

Another one asking, must be something in the air! http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=52365

Does it look like this: nectria

Yep, good book and very cheap from amazon (about a tenner), also this Collins guide http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/0007232241/ref=aw_d_detail?pd=1&qid=1357433147&sr=8-3 and Kiezers encyclopedia: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1901094219/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/280-2668703-7529944 I hear the Arbtalk app is tree related and very good. Also the AA arborists tree fungi guide (again, geared at fungi on trees). One thing with all of these just mentioned, is no one book has all fungi, and some are easier to ID from one book than another. Oh, and the names of them change often, so the name in whatever book you have could be outdated! For more depth try Lonsdales principles of hazard assessment, Strouts and Winter diagnosis of ill health in trees or Matthecks manual of wood decay. There are many more, but these are all very good. Good luck!

Sorry not pathetic, pathogenic!

Is all rosaceous much fungistatic? I've not heard that before. Do you have any reference to this quality, I'd be curious as to how it affects the rotting of it. I'd imagine if it is fungistatic it will inhibit beneficial mycorhiza as much as pathetic fungi; in effect a stand off until the fungistatic compounds have broken down.

A (very) wild guess could be old chicken of the woods, not a very clear pic; could just as easily be dryads saddle or anything else! Any other pics, what tree species, high or low on stem etc would help...

Great idea, best of luck :thumbup: -
Sorry to jump in here, mention of Phaeoleus reminds of something I've been meaning to check. I expect David may know! Does Ph. follow on from an Armillaria (oystoyea or mellea, or both?) attack, or is it the other way around? Thanks in advance...

When the battle was over, after quite some time, a long forgotten figure appeared from over the hill. All who saw him pointed and whispered amongst themselves. No one was expecting what happened next...

4 hrs south, ie out of UK? Olive

That first vertical panoramic pic is cool

Fantastic, I wonder why they have done it? Definitely bees? Is this on your ash tree Holdatcha? I noticed a question from you on another thread regarding working around bees and hornets, and whether to dust them: please don't! Especially bees, they have a hard enough time as it is with lack of flowers and excessive chemical use...
