    Tony, Nothing new here, besides, this is not knowledge coming from Stamets, but from Chinese and Japanese (shiitake) medicinal herb and fungi experts and researchers, i.e. from a tradition that goes as far back as the taoists, who already mixed Ganoderma powder with ginseng in their elixers. See the chapter on medicinal fungi on my CD-rom The Interactive Guide to Mushrooms and other Fungi and the book "Reishi Mushroom: Herb of spiritual potency and medicinal wonder" by Terry Willard (1990) on Ganoderma lucidum and G. sinense. Also see the website of Jan Lelly and Ganoderma beer has been around quite a while in Belgium and The Netherlands.

    Pete, This definitely is Flammulina velutipes. Armillaria doesn't fruit this time of year and Hypholoma fasciculare doesn't grow at this height and has brown spores, while these fungi have white spores.

    Mycorrhiza

    Fungus replied to sean's topic in Tree health care

    There has already been spend millions of dollars trying to do this by the only commercially motivated "mycorrhiza" industry, so if you would succeed in effectively "breeding" this type of ectomycorrhizal macrofungi at low costs, you would be a multimillionaire within a few years .

    Matt, 1-5 Unknown fungi growing on 2 year old hard woodchip heap : Tubaria hiemalis (= T. furfuracea s.l.).
  5. Fungus
    IME it's simular to beech for Quercus robur (and Q. petrea) and comparable in its the effects to Grifula frondosa, but M. giganteus and G. frondosa both are far more aggressive on Q. rubra.

    Where has the before given viewpoint on the natural dynamics of forest ecological (re)development of ancient woodland and the role the mycoflora plays in the life cycles of its different tree species specific ecosystems gone ?
  7. Fungus
    To be 100% sure : microscope, that's why I said probably and I also think it might be H. rubiginosum, because it often fruits on decorticated wood.
  8. Fungus
    Sean, Could also have been the fruitbodies, because - well fried - they give a nice meal .
  9. Fungus
    5. Hypoxylon multiforme 8. Probably Hypoxylon rubiginosum
  10. Fungus
    Henry, This might be Agrocybe cylindracea (= A. aegerita).
  11. Fungus
    Besides, I've never seen Daedalea fruit from a branch, it always grows on standing or laying trunks or stumps of oak, in the heartwood of which it causes a dry brown rot, while Daedaleopsis causes a white rot of the heartwood and I've never seen it fruit on oak.
  12. Fungus
    ... or Sarcoscypha austriaca or S. jurana.
  13. Fungus
    ... or to local brown rot of the heartwood caused by Laetiporus sulphureus, which is often associated with horizontal cracks in the by the column weight outward pushed annual sapwood rings and bark.
  14. Fungus
    You're right, to hasty , I meant brown and/or softrot caused by F. hepatica and white rot and/or (pale) brown coloured soft rot by I. dryadeus.
  15. Fungus
    1) Armillaria species with rhizomorphs outside and plaques inside. 2) Could be Abortiporus biennis. 3) The dry brown rot of the heart wood either Laetiporus sulphureus or Daedalea quercina and the brown rot of the sapwood at the trunk's base could be Fistulina hepatica or Inonotus dryinus.

    Tony, Only a very small number of the organisms you mention are tree species specific and totally depend on the presence of Acer for food and reproduction. And maintaining them in small numbers could be an option, although it would need a lot of managing to keep them that way and from dominating the woodland in ten to twenty years time. I've seen valuable old inner dune woodlands with oak and elm been "destroyed" by sycamore within 25 years, even though the forest management had double ringed them twice every 10 years.
  17. Fungus
    True , but I was talking about the long distance strategy of reproduction of Sorbus in general.
  18. Fungus
    See my album on Fistulina hepatica.
  19. Fungus
    It would help, if you would start with giving the species names of the shown trees .
  20. Fungus
    Tony, Being a tree species spread by birds to new locations, Sorbus is not very picky and will probably associate with almost any endomycorrhizal microfungus present, of which in a longer existing woodland will be more than enough present to colonise the young tree's new developing roots, so nothing has to be done in particular.
  21. Fungus
    1. And it will stay that way if it isn't checked properly . 2. So do I .
  22. Fungus
    1. Quite a lot, that don't rely on plants and the trees themselves. There for instance are a lot of insects, that depend on the fruitbodies of bracket fungi or on soil mycelia for their food and reproduction. 2. If you're looking for a partial substitute for the holly, that apart from its fruits doesn't contribute much to the total forest ecosystem, I would suggest the introduction of hazel, the only smaller woodland ectomycorrhizal tree species, that has a well developed tree species specific ecosystem of its own.
  23. Fungus
    David, Did you check the spores ? IMO, this might just as well be Phellinus robustus.
  24. Fungus
    Craig, Correct, just as Bjerkandera adusta and Hypholoma species such as H. fasciculare do. And just like PCB's, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAK's in Dutch) are on the list of environmental toxics.
  25. Fungus
    1. Quercus robur and Quercus petrea. 2. By looking at the tree species, see my list of endo- and ectomycorrhizal tree species. 3. No, not a (generalistic) biologist, but a mycologist and forest ecologist, see my post on mycorrhiza.
