    I don't know Rob but the colour suggests it. Whether it is down to me being more aware now, or coincidence perhaps, I seem to be seeing fungi everywhere(not quite but in a lot of places.)And no, I haven't been sampling any red fungi. Here are a few I have come across today, three in total: Pictures 1,2,3 and 4 on a dead Scots Pine, I am not sure at all but going for Heterobasidion annosum. Apologies for the dissection of a poor innocent fungi, don't know what came over me. 5 and 6 also on the same tree and again not sure but guessing at Phaeolus schweinitzii. 7 and 8 on an Alder and just to be consistent, I'm not sure but will have a guess at Inonotus cuticularis.

    Aren't they gorgeous!

    I was gonna suggest looking at the Howbig link on the special offer link but it seems to have been disabled.

    There are some great cheap software products out there these days that allow you to measure dimensions with a digital camera or even a mobile phone. My mate showed me one on his phone just today. I am going to look into it in the near future. I have a suunto clinometer. It is a nice little piece of engineered gadgetry but I can't quite take to it. I have climbed trees, measured them with rope and then tried my clino on them and never got a totally accurate match. We were told we needed to get heights within 10% accuracy on our tech cert. I bought the clino for that purpose and only used it once due to time constraints. I reckon you could walk the PTI with your eyes closed. Not that I have done it yet, but I know .

    Took it two weeks ago, i'll see, camera is not that good and a large dog has licked the lense:lol:

    Thats me on the waiting list, cheers.

    Does this help: Possibly not.
  10. Treecreeper1961
    Oh come on, your kidding me. Really. Balls.
  11. Treecreeper1961
    There were two species of fungi on tree no.2. A. mellea and O.populinus I believe.Stand to be corrected of course.
  12. Treecreeper1961
    Don't know but it sounds uncomfortable. Recommend sudacrem.
  13. Treecreeper1961
    Very cool indeed, thanks.
  14. Treecreeper1961
    Bloody amateurs, sorry. 1'2 and last P. x canadensis The others are Q. robur I believe.

    Here I have a few pictures showing the body language of fairly obvious faults, flaws and failures. Any observations appreciated and any guesses as too fungi responsible for decay would be interesting:

    Hope you don't mind but a question on the prescription of reduction on these trees and Kretz. Have these also been reduced for light reasons or to reduce sail area? How do you go about assessing the risk posed by Kretzchmaria deusta and justify reduction rather than removal? Tha soft rot mode being notoriously hard to detect and the risk of uprooting being high?? If the Kretz is decaying the roots is it fair to assume there is no great immediate worry if the crown shows no sign of decline? Or, put another way, does the decay of the roots show itself in the crown early, at all or in time to act?
  17. Treecreeper1961
    You show off.

    Sorry to but into this thread Fungus, I have only just discovered it. Am I right in thinking that this suggests F.hepatica only fruits on living trees and is in no way saprotrophic? The reason I ask is because a few months ago I was surprised to come across a very old oak stump, with only the fissured heartwood remaining, which had a fresh beafstake growing from under a low buttress cavity. Sorry, no photographic evidence.

    Hang on, I was about to say something sarcastic like"...no way, you don't know, I can't believe it...:001_tt2:" but then I realised that would be childish and unfair as I have not collected the necessary info. to work with. Have you seen anything like this before? Is it a fungal epiphyte or what would you call this phenomenon? I thought it was fantastic when I saw it.
  20. Treecreeper1961
    Yeah of course, so long as you talk me through exactly what you are seeing there, please. Oh, and tell me what the UFO's are. Ok, after looking at it again, it's obvious about the breach into the cambium. Can you tell me more about how and why that happens?
  21. Treecreeper1961
    Very cool indeed, cheers.
  22. Treecreeper1961
    Well, the season to see fungi never really stops does it? I am beginning to forget which threads I want to add stuff to and how to find them again. I must be more organised and add links etc. Never mind, here are some fungi, I have attempted to id but please correct as you see fit: 1,2 and 3.Basidioradulum radula on oak 4,5 and 6 UFO-These little beauties were in an old pruning wound on a Q.robur which also appears to be host to F.hepatica 7 and 8 Rich colouring of heartwood by F.hepatica 9, 10 and 11 Oxyporus populinus 12,13 and 14 Peniophora quercina
  23. Treecreeper1961
    Not totally sure what you mean by that Hama. Sean is next in line and I will send it on in due course, pending receipt of address and reading it a few times.
  24. Treecreeper1961
    Hmmm, interesting:laugh1: I thought it might have been one of yours:lol:

    The book arrived at the beginning of the week, thanks Sloth. It's been a busy and difficult week but I have already found the book extremely interesting and so easy to read. Fantastic! Without doubt a title that is a must for any would be tree surveyor or arborist. Mattheck is incredible, some kind of gift to arboriculture. Interesting bookmark present by the way:sneaky2: Thanks:thumbup:
