If it helps the bark was a greyish colour and was plated. Should of got photos I know.

Anyone help me to ident this please, I thought maybe a type of elm?, but not sure. Photos aren't great, I was in a bit if a rush. Cheers.

Working in a park today, came across this in a cavity on an ash. Any help would be good. Cheers.

Cheers for that, thanks for the help.

Anyone be able to ident these for me please. The brackets were on the base of a Norway maple. The tree had a lot of deadwood on the canopy, about 65-70%. I've looked through a couple of the books I have and don't recognise it. Any help would be great cheers

Hi all,

I'm after some help on where to find info on fungi decay strategies., sapwood exposed etc....Is there a decent website or book that I could look at, I'm currently doing a table on fungi and can't find much info. Cheers.

Hi Jon you staying overnight at arb show?.

So is there anything on in the evening this year?,plus and this is the most important part is Mendip logs Jon staying?.

So we book the site through the pub?.been the last few years and can get around Ina day,thought this year it would be a laugh to stay over.

Just wondering if it's worth staying overnight at the arb show, thinking of doing it this year with some mates. Anyone on here do it last year,is it worth it?.

To much trumpet polishing.

Are these blushing brackets?.came across them today when crown lifting some cherries.

Why do some trees compartmentalise well and others not?,why is it that willows are poor and acacia is good?. Any help would be brilliant.cheers.

Hi Jon I can't send you a message your inbox is full.cheers.

Happy new year to everyone on arb talk hope you all have a grand new year.

Maybe bird cherry

Id personally like the tree to remain where it is,but with the decay as it Is,is it not better to fell and re plant a tree in its place for the future ?.how long really does this tree have left living in the health n safety culture we live In.plus I think when the time comes to take it down,we will take it down to ground level,grind it n there will be nothing left,no monolith,or anything else,as a lot of people don't tend to think that way,well not were we are.

This beech tree is down for a 30% reduction.just wondering what people's thoughts were on that?,would it be better coming down or a harder/lighter reduction .here are some pics of the tree itself and of the Picus test. the beech has been reduced fairly hard in the past.its in a church,next to multiple pathways.cheers.

Large beech tree coming down today, gonna have tonnes of wood, won't be able to give it away free, but it would be cheap, any one interested we are at wantage gardens in Plymouth, be here all day, the 25th.

We came across this today, looks abit like honey fungus?, but not sure.it was on a grass verge, one part was growing out of a dead ash, the other about a meter away, out the ground.3dead trees on the verge in total.

We were working in a cem today and we spotted these around the base of the tree, a Lombardy pop,looks like they are growing from between the buttresses.cheers for any help.

Been passing this beech for years, it's right on the side of a country lane,first noticed meripilus around 3-4 years ago, took these photos a couple of weeks back, they where still pretty small..

Could someone help me ident this please?found them on a grass verge today, any help would be great. Cheers.

Found this around a group of trees, growing on a grass verge in a cemetery. I thought it might be the blusher, but that's based on a limited fungi ident book I own. Could someone help me Ident it please?.

It was bloody massive, didn't no hover flys got so big, proper fat.
