On oak, although to start with I thought it might have been something else. (still not 100%) :-$

OK thanks, however the link goes to a strange thread about wish lists and tractors. Maybe it's the mobile app playing up?

Thanks David, I did think silver leaf! But on beach!? And would it kill the tree? I actually mistook this tree for an Elm in July due to the speed at which the leaves had seemingly died. Thanks

Hi guys any help in identifying this fungi it appears to have killed this beech tree?! The tree itself appeared to have died very quickly leaving dead leaves attached. Let me know what you think

Thanks Tony, can you comment on its significance? Similar to its relative? I found on an ash that also has I. Hispidus. Cheers

Hi guys, Can anybody help clarify if this is what i think it is. Pholiota squarrosa? cheers

I'm not sure I have ever come across leaf minor on sweet gum before I know there is one that effects it. The area affected does not cover the entire tree its a area just offset from the leader. It's also resulted in slightly stunted growth of leaves and shoots on the effected branches.

Hi all. Could anyone comment on the attached leaf scan below? It's a semi-mature tree planted roughly 10 years ago, in what, (based on the clients lengthy and detailed description), sounds like a very well constructed and fertilised planting pit within a chalk escarpment. the area is well draining and if anything i think there my be a lack of water. The housing estate was build on rubble and many of the woody plants appear to be struggling. What I was hoping to pin point is if this was a sign of stress? either water stress of some other nutrient deficiency causing the leaves to become mottled in this way. Looking forward to your thoughts. O

Thanks for your reply, do you mean Innonotus dryadeus, or dryads saddle?? To me they look too thick to be dryads saddle and I've not seen innonotus dryadeus with a stacked tierd set of brackets. If this is Innonotus dryadeus, would this be considered panicked fruiting? Weirdly I didn't actually come to look at this tree the chap wanted his hedge cutting but asked about the oak as his office and childrens play area is beneath!!! cheers Tony

Hi there, met an oak Tree today with evidence of old innonotus dryadeus, gandoderma lucidum, and an unknown bracket. Can you guys help me identify the unknown?

Thanks all for your help! I will use these responses to structure an attack plan for the resident. cheers!!

Looks like plain old Larix decidua. European larch has bigger cones which don't quite have the peeled edges to them, Japanese Larch has smaller cones and the cones look like the petals of a rose). Larch trees hybridise easily with one another so you can ens up with a medium cone that looks like both. Not sure if that helps at all? Your pretty safe with decidua

Thanks, this is what I'm leaning towards. although I haven't really looked hard enough for the rhizomes/mycelium in the soil. I'm always cautious that the seemingly obvious choice is not always the most likely. however being that other plants have died in this location, and over a long period of time. A soil born pathogen has to be it. Can i ask how you have come to know that Privet is susceptible? do you know of it being documented anywhere? other thoughts welcome?

Ok i have some guesses as to what could be going on here but i'd like to see if my guesses are well pointed. please see details below. The facts: - Privet hedge trimmed regularly in one of our clients properties. - Hedge runs to rear corner of garden where the last section has died, sections adjacent to this are looking like they are yellowing. - there used to be an Acacia or Gleditsia in the corner, it died and was removed around 3-4 years ago. the tree died slowly over a period of years. - No fires or waste water/chemicals /poison are known to have been poured over the rear boundary fence, in entire 15 years residence. - the residence say there have been signs over the years of some "toadstools" although at my time of visiting, (several visits) It has not been the correct time of year and i have not seen any. The assumption: - Could there be some form or honey fungus or similar parasite attacking the Privet? the progression yellowing and eventual death of the hedge in a linear fashion leads me to believe there is something going on in the soil/underground. Although i couldn't see and bootlaces. (didn't dig very deep or very far:blushing:). Please take a look at the pictures i have taken while on site, some showing close ups of folia dieback and some showing overal decline of hedge. I'm keen to come to some form of conclusion even if i have to go and dig up the bloody hedge to look underneath it! thanks in advance.

Definitely NOT hornbeam :-D

Interesting that this should be posted, a colleague recently found some of this on a dead standing ulmus. A fortuitously identified fungi, his report now sounds all the more informed rather than "a fungal fruit body was present at the time of survey".

Sounds promising thanks :-D Sent from my GT-I8190 using Tapatalk 2

Upon reflection and given the time of year could it be manna ash? with swollen buds.

Hello interested people! I think I have some sort of ash that was emailed to me earlier today. If we can identify this, the person in question states they will be forever in my debt! anyone care to help me out?

Whats important to remember about all software and hardware is that they all are designed for a specific task/contractor/client/landowner. I've heard bad things about loads of software thats trying to be used for something is not quite designed for. Choosing software is like anything.

Was on site friday last and grabbed this, no idea what it could be, although its hauntingly familiar? thoughts?

lol cheers im not sure whybut uploading the photos to Arbtalk degraded them here they are on tapatalk. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

out and about today, haven't shared this with my colleagues yet but would like to confirm. Are these degraded Meripilus? (and a little younger one?) thanks :-D Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Tasty inclusion failure peppered with brackets YUM! Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2

Some kind of fungal association. The tree is a willow on a patch of scrubland proposed for development into a new industrial citadel. Good job too as this nature stuff is far to clean and harmless! Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2
