    No, you'll have to buy the document from the author or university, because it's not available to the public as a whole.

    Tony, See this publication in German.

    Graham, Armillatox is a pesticide, i.e. an environmental friendly herbicide, fungicide and insecticide of which the ingredients - apart from soap - are kept a secret, performing miracles if you believe what the producer claims on his website.

    The woodpeckers look for beetles and/or their larva, that have their habitat inside the brackets of these fungi. A German beetle specialist last year published a study on the bracket species specific beetles of macrofungi. It turned out, that every species of annual or perennial bracket fungi has one or more fungus specific beetles living inside and/or on the brackets, which form an ecological niche on its own.

    Tom, Years ago, I had a call from the "inventor" and producer of Armillatox asking me if I could/would organize a testing and demonstration session in The Netherlands for which I was to be paid. Two weeks afer my refusal to organize a demonstration, I was invited to come to Belgium, where they had allowed Armillatox to be tested on Armillaria infected trees.

    David, Yes, it's the same species also known as Leratiomyces ceres, which spores travelled to Europe in the wool of sheep imported from Australia.

    Gollum, Were the grey blue winter oysters on the menu today ?
  8. Fungus
    That could work provided the remaining beech hedge is not damaged at the trunk's base, but no positive results guaranteed.

    Wonder why they have banned Armillatox from The Netherlands and the testing of the extremely toxic product on the continent toke place in Belgium. Could it be because it kills all macrofungi and on the long run the tree too ?

    .

    1. With rusty brown spores ? If so, it's a perennial Ganoderma species such as G. lipsiense, causing an intensive white rot with selective delignification of the central wood column and (slow) die back of the tree. 2. F. fomentarius has white spores. 3. Nothing useful.

    David, With a well developed whitish ring with yellow scales at the lower side once the cap has opened up, this could also be the necrotrophic parasitic Armillaria mellea s.s. Without traces of a ring or "veil" it would probably be the saprotrophic A. lutea.
  13. Fungus
    David, Judged from the picture, this looks like the saprotrophic Armillaria lutea (= A. bulbosa), a Honey Fungus using the downside of woodchips to spread/travel and decomposes cellulose to feed its rhizomorphs, that "dive under" once the tree base is reached and then start to white rot the heartwood of the tree from within without entering living tissue, which is shielded off by melanine plaques to prevent the tree to react.

    Tom, Nice , also see my Beech & Pholiota aurivella thread.
  15. Fungus
    David, 1. ... with Entoloma sericeum among them 2. If the gills first are pink and then turn to dark brown, it's an Agaricus species : smell, bruising reddish or yellow ? Or with white gills and white spores, this could be a Leucoagaricus species. 3. Psathyrella conopilus
  16. Fungus
    David, I don't have a clue what you mean . Are you referring to the fact, that there are two Dutch mycologists with Keizer as a family name ?
  17. Fungus
    Pics 9,10,11,12 : two different Lycoperdon species : L. lividum and L. foetidum (tingling metallic smell) ? Pics 13,14 : Lepista species : L. irina (sweet aromatic smell) or L. luscina ?

    Tony,

    Try ordering using this page.

    Scott, 4) And you need a protocol summing up the information (description, photo's, Picus, resistograph) needed on the specimen and the tree to identify the species, to avoid delay by extra communication, to facilitate a prognosis on the stability and condition of the tree and to make an advice on the management of the tree possible.
  20. Fungus
    It is, especially for Russula and Lactarius species associated with Pinus and Betula.
  21. Fungus
    So do people .

    David, Left to decay on sight without management. The area is extensively grazed by Scottish Highland Cattle and the sanddunes are extremely dry and acid with Molinia caerulea (nitrification) and Calluna vulgaris, Erica tetralix, Vaccinium vitis-idaea and Empetrum nigrum as dominant plants associated with Ericaceae mycorrhizae, so the decay of the pines is done by a few generalists among the slow brownrotters capable of decomposition of coniferous wood without or with minimal soil contact.
  23. Fungus
    Sloth, Flammulina velutipes.
  24. Fungus
    Pics 9,10,11,12 : two different Lycoperdon species Pics 13,14 : Lepista species ?

    Clitocybe nebularis.
