I see it most often on Aesculus hippocastanum, Platanus x hispanica and Tilia x europea
-
I developed tendonitus in both of my achilles 2 years ago from wearing chainsaw boots that were too big. Start re-habbing it as soon as possible and maintain it as if you don't it stays around for a long time!

Agree with the above two comments; having highly regarded professionals within the tree industry who have very in depth tree knowledge is invaluable. Tree Life/Training Tree within the industry would also carry a lot more weight on the CV than ADL

Nice, just round the corner from work for me!! Booked a place
-
Yep is canadensis, quite brilliant
-
I would also go with Pinus coulteri, have a couple of the pine cones on my desk!

Ignoring the issue of the quality of firewood, surely the increase of EU imported logs for the home burning market is a big bio-security concern?

Can anyone please help with this serious accident?

Thanks for this, I've been waiting for the verdict on this as has been an interesting case to read -
i had a clump of blackened armillaria on one of my assesment trees! was quite tricky to spot actually
-
dont just learn fungi idents but what they look like when they're decaying and all mushy. Very good chance in the exam they may have a sample of an old dessicated laetiporus or phaeolus to identify.

From my experience, when kretz is at the far end of a buttress, it can be contained within that buttress. Although that is a risky strategy to work by!!
-
I've seen it on sycamore before
-
Is Acacia pravissima
-
I would definitely say Pholiota, the downward facing shaggy triangles are a dead give away. For Armallaria there would be a ring on the stem beneath the cap. Worth a look

Bought it! -
I have around 4 hours a day of commuting so I read about trees and count that as CPD!

Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....
Betula replied to David Humphries's topic in Fungi Pictures
Not that I'm trying to 'one up' you or anything but in Hyde Park there is a Horse Chestnut that has just put out its third crop of Dryad this year. It's on a large dead branch that's decaying quite extensively. Low target zone though! -
On mycobank the names are still listed as the proper names, not the new ones
-
They've obviously not got enough proper work to be doing so they're keeping themselves in a job by changing the names. Bit worrying about the tree officer who didn't know about kretz!!

Ganoderma resinaceum - growth rate and ecology
Betula replied to Kveldssanger's topic in Fungi Pictures
I see it loads on Silver Maple, have some amazing resinaceum on London Plane, need to get photos though -
Is resinaceum, seen it on Plane before
-
With it being a red oak resinaceum is very likely, very common on red oaks. it's a stunning fungus to look at when grown!

Maybe I've missed something but what about the workers responsibility to ensure the right equipment was being used and operating in the correct way -
Are you keeping a DBH record David of the larger branches? I'm starting to do that but wish I had started earlier. This week in Green Park we removed a branch that had a DBH of 24 and in Hyde Park there are a few that are well over 30 which I'll get the accurate DBH of and length if possible. We've also noticed the different types of colonisation strategy in different affected MDP branches. Maybe there are two or more different subspecies? Across the Royal Parks we've had nearly 1,200 Plane trees have Massaria branches removed but in terms of total affected trees it's pretty much all of them, ranging from small twiggy branches to much larger ones.
