Great find and good shot. Learn something new every day.

Nice cuts. Tidy job. I have a Husqvarana 365 Special. Trying to find a new brake band for it. Seems the codes have changed....

We were in a small village called wass in deepest north Yorkshire mate Very nice area. What sort of age do you think those beech were?

Finally a good soak!!! here.

Thanks A. Will look it up in the books.

A shrub of some sort, looks like either of the two earlier responses.

In addition to the sponge heartwood, when felling, it became obvious that there were a number of small brackets about 8-10cm on some of the branches. Here are some shots. Potentially fairly regular bracket though probably old as they have desiccated.

Thanks Gary. I only just saw this for some reason. Yes Sapro, thanks for that.

I would have to agree with Mr H. But did you happen to see the colour underneath?

Morus alba looks close so White Mulberry could be the one then. Interesting. Not seen one I don't think.

is it Celtis of some sort?

Yes indeed it does look very much like willow. I always try to find out what it is before I cut it down in case its something special. LOL!

That is a nice sized tree. Might be good habitat for ecological purposes.

Very nice trees when old and big. Thuja plicata, not a true Cedar as such and not of the genus Cedrus but of Thuja. Yes lovely smell it has and beautiful bark (in my opinion). Good pics.

can anyone id what the fungi is?
