    Yes, I have, but only in Dutch and on Dutch websites on tree and forest ecology. The following photo shows a rare example of a Tilia that was struck by lightening. ---

    No, in The Netherlands we have/had a saying : in a thunder storm avoid standing under an oak and seek shelter under a beech, because beeches don't get struck by lightening, which is no longer valid, because nowadays lots of Dutch trees are under the direct influence of ammonia (nitrification) coming from overmanured grasslands and maize fields, changing the normally neutral bark surface of beeches into negative loaded, which attracts and conducts lightning as a result.
  3. Fungus
    Yes I have, but not very often and mostly in larch lanes.
  4. Fungus
    Nice fairy ring of Calocybe gambosa and an extremely early fruiting of Suillus grevillei.
  5. Fungus
    I live in the eastern parts (Berkelland, Gelderland), and the pictures were taken in the central parts (Einde Gooi, Utrecht), but I've also documented lightning strikes in beech associated with nitrification in the vicinity of the town I live. ---

    This is what lightning strikes on beech look like.
  7. Fungus
    Gollum, I have over a hundred of them from the chalk cliffs in Denmark. ---

    Adam, These old copper beeches or grafted "notary" trees have survived over the years, because they are privately owned ornamental park or garden trees.

    Very old grafted or "notary" copper beech at the Heuven estate park (Rheden) with a strangling root forming a water reservoir collecting the rain running down the trunk. ---

    Beech lane

    Fungus posted a topic in Picture Forum

    Beech "tunnel" with double tree rows at both sides of the secondary road between De Steeg and Rheden. ---
  11. Fungus
    Over 150 years old beeches at the edge of the top of a sandy hill on the Heuven estate near Rheden (National Park Veluwezoom). ---

    Weeping beech

    Fungus replied to Fungus's topic in Picture Forum

    It's purely from the tree and apart from Peniophora cinerea on a dead branch, I only found Xylaria carpophila and Lachnum (Dasyscyphus) virgineum on half buried capules.

    Noticed the Peniophora cinerea in the fourth picture ?

    No, it's Rheden near Arnhem.
  15. Fungus
    Yesterday I visited the very old park and woodlands of Heuven near Rheden (National Park Veluwezoom), where I found this grafted weeping beech. Most of the lower branches had bent down to the ground, rooted and regenerated as clones of the mother tree. ---

    Probably Peziza vesiculosa.
  17. Fungus
    .
  18. Fungus
    Geopora (= Sepultaria) sumneriana.
  19. Fungus
    In that case, you can scrape the spores directly from the surface of the gills, put them on your object glass in a drop of water or a colouring medium and measure them with 1000 x magnification.

    Matthew, It looks like this ash is colonized by Auricularia mesenterica.
  21. Fungus
    Wash them from the gills with a little bit of water and let the droplets with the spores drip and then dry on a piece of glass, so you can put either a white or a dark gray piece of paper underneath the glass to determine the colour of the spores. If you want to be sure which species it is, you'll need a microscope to look at and measure the spores.
  22. Fungus
    David, Schwartze (1999) just repeated what Butin (1996) claimed to have assessed without properly retesting and reproducing Butin's supposed findings himself and that's why under U. deusta melanin was no longer mentioned in Weber & Mattheck (2001), the book of which I edited the manuscript before it was published, after Schwartze left Karlsruhe.
  23. Fungus
    1. With brown spores ? If so : Pholiota aurivella. 2. With white or brown spores ? White : probably an Armillaria species or Collybia fusipes. Brown : possibly Pholiota squarrosa or Gymnopilus junonius. 3. Could be black oozing caused by Armillaria (mellea). And the canker is caused by a Nectria species.
  24. Fungus
    David, Only Armillaria species produce the acid resistent melanin surronding the hyphae inside their rhizomorphs or covering up hyphae under melanin plaques. Black lines "fencing" territories of different fungi are comprised of fungicides or antibiotics produced by the fungi that "stain" the wood, leaving behind "trenches" from which a territorial battle took place that could not be won by one of the mycelia involved in the fight. You can regard them as "territorial pissings" marking the territoria of cats and dogs.

    Sloth, I assume, you mean Coprinus micaceus s.l. ?
