A few older brackets noted over the last few weeks.

Nice Cedar though. any other shots of the fungi you were able to get? Be good to see a little more of it.

A nice selection there. I will take note and keep for record. Thanks David.

Any other pictures of the fungi? From that angle, the cut looks a little dodgy.

Have used battery top handle saw, pretty good battery power and definitely lasts an afternoon of cuts, have a long reach cutter battery, both husqvarana. Out in the country, so getting fuel can sometimes be a pain, therefore battery does me good from that perspective. Have yet to see a big chainsaw on the market battery wise, got an old Husqvarana 365sp petrol, don't know if battery has the same power.

Just finished cutting up a mature pine that came down in South East area yesterday in the strong winds. Pine had a bracket growing up it just below where it snapped and fell, hollowing trunk and ivy growing inside it. But still full of life on top. Until yesterday.... Bits and pieces all over the estate after winds of about 45mph down here.

Hurrah! got one!

I'm thinking two possibilities, but not the expert either so may be leading you down the garden path. Either Inonotus species or otherwise and who knows, but worth a guess; Daedaleopsis species. However David Humphries is the expert on this matter.

Mr Humphries got there first. I was going to say Ganoderma species or Fomes, but looks more like Ganorderma as he says. What is the future of this tree?

Done, thanks.

Well looks like a nice part of the world. Never been that way. Have heard about it though. Lucky you.

Nicely done!! Where was that?

Wind picked up last night and has carried on today with driving rain. Pleasant though, out cutting up some willow this morning.

Bit windy down here in Sussex. Not the curry either. Maybe Freya is on her way

core blimey! Lucky you mate! You learn something new everyday!! Cheers.
