  1. Hi. Mix of methodologies, but prioritised as 1) Stem injection or lever & mulch (uprooting). 2) cut and stump treatment. Glyphosate is the chemical of choice. All need a comprehensive follow up program using multiple techniques including knapsack spraying, seedling removal and lever & mulch. There is a whole pile of IRATA spec in this part of the world also.
  2. Focus and current contract commitments are clearing rhododendron from rainforest habitat and ongoing maintenance of new planting. Hope is that as the team develops and gains experience they will take on a broader range of forestry and habitat restoration work.
  3. Hi, this is available for anyone to apply. This is about boosting employment and entry level positions in a remote and often disadvantaged part of the UK. Not sure what livelihoods will be disrupted by clearing rhododendron from rainforest habitat, but happy to discuss.

  5. Thanks chaps. Cracking looking fungi. Like I said, my sense of smell is useless!
  6. Hi, I was hoping to get some help with this. Found on a conifer stump, smelt faintly of fennel/aniseed, could have been strong, but my smell is rubbish. I think it is Gloeophyllum odoratum. If it likely is, should I report the find? Cheers!
  7. This is typical up here. We have even better diversity and some quite rare Lichen by all accounts. They are on my list, but not something I know much about yet. It was the flatness that made me question it being Laetiporus, so cheers for clearing that up.
  8. I know there are lots of Laetiporus sulphureus in this thread, but this is a first for me, if I've got it right, it looks right to me. I couldn't get very close as it was on a cliff edge and the midge were viscous. That is my lens at full zoom.
  9. Thanks! My inclination is myc, I will pop back up the hill and check. No other stumps in the near vicinity that I noticed.
  10. Pseudohydnum gelatinosum. Likely Spruce stump. Do you think that is spore distribution or mycelium? I should have investigated, but was pushed for time.
  11. Couple of weeks ago, under Larch. Suillus grevillei??
