  1. Fantastic post. Really useful information here.
  2. Looked just a few minutes ago. Awesome fungus, that. Wonder why it adopts such a morphology!?
  3. Aye! First time I have personally seen Kretz on silverleaf maple as well, which is good for the photo archive and cerebral database. Other side of the stump is colonised solely by Gano, and has adopted an odd 'splodge' morphology on a root buttress and the top of the stump.
  4. Kretzschmaria deusta, Ganoderma sp. (susp. G. australe), and Xylaria longipes in the space of maybe 10-12cm on the stump of Acer saccharinum. Cool!
  5. That's useful to know - thanks. I'd agree when you climate is probably a main driver, though I wonder whether the genetic stock is different as well (from there compared to here). My understanding is London plane is clonal, so not sure how accurate my presumption would be.
  6. Very interesting find! 100% London plane and not oriental?
  7. Inonotus. Probably Inonotus hispidus.
  8. T.T. Kozlowski's 'Physiology of Woody Plants' is also very good.
  9. You talk as if we don't prune sympathetically for the benefit of the tree. A tree is indeed a living being.
  10. You could pollard it, but chances are you'd get some sweet decay columns forming.
  11. Could it be Fomitiporia punctata, or another species of Phellinus? It doesn't strike me as Phellinus pomaceus.
  12. It's easy to find a PDF online. Just do a quick search.
  13. As long as you don't bring any Russian football fans into the debate, it's probably something one can handle!
  14. A 101 for decay prevention! Spotted probably a developing set of what I think are oak dryad fruiting bodies that are probably no more than a few days old, today. Note the old ones around it. Doesn't strike me to be Ganoderma resinaceum - old conks are too tough. Little bugger is already guttating.
  15. Thanks guys! No worries, Betula.
  16. You're right on that one - thanks! Lime Hawk-moth Mimas tiliae - UKMoths The beetles you can zoom in on if you click on the images.
  17. I came across all of these at Bushy Park a few weekends ago, alongside Betula from this forum. If anyone is good with their beetles and moths, some help would be appreciated, as I am honestly clueless! You can zoom in on them all for a closer look at detail. Beetle 1 - Beetle 2 - Beetle (?) 3 - Moth 1 - Thanks.
  18. There are a large number of different genotypes that have different host ranges, and therefore I expect also tolerances. Climate can have a stifling effect, though with a vast inoculum base it only takes a few genotypes to set hold and breed for there to be an issue, is my understanding.
  19. I share Anno's stance, to be honest. Nonetheless, I do the best I can with what I have available at my disposal, as do we all (hopefully).
  20. Prunus padus.
  21. That last image is incredible. Loving the contrast between the dull bark of the beech, the canopy of green, and the yellow-beige of the dryad saddle. Has a glow to it.
  22. Very nice images there! Deja vu with the one of silverleaf maple. Did you share that last year?
  23. The answer will likely be yes, but have you seen this association before?
