Hi. Wondering if this is Nectria coccinea on a mature beech?
-
That sounds reasonable. Thanks.
-
I don't know that one. Is it parasitic or saprophytic?
-
Hi, wondering if this is Bjerkandera adusta, on silver maple?
-
Thanks Andrew, that was my suspicion.
-
Hi, could someone ID this fungus on sycamore in a woodland?
-
Perfectly illustrated, thanks for that
-
I've seen it on mature ash plenty of times, but never noticed it on a younger different species such as this before.
-
I've driven past it a few times recently and when I noticed the water droplets I finally decided to stop and get a few snaps. Do you think there is much hope for this species to be able to withstand this type of decay, or should I be politely informing the owners to consider a replacement? Its only a small tree (5m approx.) but plenty of targets with a highway on one side and a car park the other.

Inonotus hispidus on whitebeam, complete with old brackets and possible scar of previous attachments.
-
Thanks for the tip, although it would have been difficult to spot these amongst the grass clippings and garden rubbish that has been hoiked over the new fence!
-
Not that I noticed (and it would be something I would normally look out for). I think the tree had one main leader, and it appeared to have a relatively narrow conic crown for a tree of this age (stem dia. approx. 800mm). Also had a small Ganoderma bracket at the base.
-
Thanks chris, yes that should be wound wood, some lazy terminology on my part, I stand corrected! It was difficult to see clearly from the ground, and unfortunately I have no further photos to demonstrate, but the wounds seemed to appear at separate intervals up the trunk. I was wondering if lightning damage would leave a continuous line?
-
Some fair points, thanks Peter.
-
Hi, Anyone recognise this type of longitudinal wound, observed on a beech (a limited photograph from ground level only). Appearing from approx. 6m upwards, and on different sides of the trunk as you go further up the tree. Wondering if its some type of cracking, caused by external shear stresses? Appears to be occluding with reaction wood...
-
Thanks!
-
Thanks David, As it appears to be a young bracket, I suspect the cause is the recent developments next door, adjacent to the tree may have had some adverse impacts to the roots, maybe some changes in ground levels or this new fence.
-
Hi, wondering if this looks like a Phaeolus schweinitzii on the root plate of a larch?
-
Hi, Is this a Ganoderma (applanatum/adspersum) on a beech (located near base of trunk). If so, why is the upper layer white and not brown, or would it turn darker later in the season? Does it take few seasons to develop the brown upper surface?

Case Law relating to severed roots?
jacquemontii replied to jacquemontii's topic in Trees and the Law
I'm reading around case law to understand its effectiveness in neighbour disputes and have got a bit bogged down with this issue. So it would therefore appear that based on current case law, the right to abate a nuisance supersedes the consequence of a tree failure as a result of these actions, and that the courts would rule that a neighbour had the right to cut the roots that encroached on his property, even if this results in damage to the tree owner? -
Case Law relating to severed roots?
jacquemontii replied to jacquemontii's topic in Trees and the Law
Thanks Jules. -
With reference to cutting roots back to a boundary to abate a nuisance: "A tree owner may have a claim against his neighbour if the tree dies or falls over as a result of such action, although this has not been tested in court" Dobson, M, Patch, D (2005) Trees and Hedges in Dispute APN11. "A person abating a nuisance must thus still exercise reasonable care, and failure to do so may lead to liability in negligence." Mynors, C (2011) The Law of trees, Forests and Hedgerows. Does anyone know of any recent case law that has demonstrated the above, since these publications?
-
I take your point Mick, perhaps the terminology is slightly out, not really a true pollard, perhaps a 'lapsed hammered tree'? But the defect of weakly attached branches would be of a similar nature, were it a pollard.
-
Thanks David, I will look that up.

This bracket was found on a mature multi-stemmed Holm Oak. I suspect it is Ganoderma, but does anyone recognize which type based on these photos? Another question relates to the significance of the host species, does anyone know how the resistance to decay of Holm oak compares with say pendunclate oak? Is it similar in terms of relatively slow rates of decay and compartmentalization? This particular tree appears to have already had some light crown reduction work in the past (although it was difficult to spot through the dense evergreen canopy), presumably in response to the presence of the bracket.
