    I am guessing this is the Fomitopsis betulina (Birch Polypore)? Nice!

    Thanks MacD. Yes I have since been in touch with a couple of companies. Looks like I need Picus testing more than root radar. Am based in East Grinstead, West Sussex. Slowly but surely we will prevail!

    Sounds good. I work in East Grinstead in West Sussex
  4. AJStrees
    Ah okay. Have you had more in depth investigations done on your veterans using the Picus system?
  5. AJStrees
    Thanks David. Have seen their website, will contact them. Is it a fairly costly activity?

    Hello, anyone know of a company around Sussex that do root radar on trees?
  7. AJStrees
    Ah yes, if the bark has not got a shine to it then yes he is probably more right than I.
  8. AJStrees
    ah so, I was right! that makes me very very happy. Well at least something I got right. ?
  9. AJStrees
    Good point. will have a more detailed look at the spore print. Lots of them to choose from I reckon. LOL!

    looks a bit like the old Pholiota squarrosa. had some at the base of a beech the other week looked quite similar.
  11. AJStrees
    sorry I meant to say it has "won" some awards

    Prunus serrula Tibetica - Birch Bark Cherry Tree Looks to me like the named tree above. This is a bit of an in tree at the moment and one some RHS awards. A landscape project we had done 2 years ago planted a lot of these trees in the area that was done. So I would say its these.

    Interesting fungi. I expect the velvet bracket is fairly common in England but haven't seen it myself before.
  14. AJStrees
    hmm. Yeah some days one does wonder what was the point in all that. Some jobs are a lot more boring than others, that's for sure. I think the best days are based on how much you can achieve. But on days where you can't be bothered, then I would say the best thing to do is find a purpose for doing something and then do that. I believe purpose to do something is key otherwise its seriously boring. Life is what you make it, as they say.

    very good Guy. Yes probably because in the old England we say turf generally while across the pond it is always referred to as "sod" as I am sure you are well aware. But in England "sod" as you may also know goes down another route (pronounced root in England) entirely. LOL!
  16. AJStrees
    David, thank you for clearing up the technical word for those fungi you posted. Saprobes! interesting.
  17. AJStrees
    some of these fungi are fascinating! That yellow brain fungus, crikey!

    There has been a selection of mushrooms around this last week. Can't tell you what they all are. But it would be worth knowing as they are all in easily accessible areas.
  19. AJStrees
    A nice selection. I was wondering what Lepista nuda - the Wood Blewit was because we had some of that the other day where I work.
  20. AJStrees
    Yes, funny you mention that because I had thought a mature pine we had was Scots too, but turns out from learning some of the different pines, Corsican or Black Pine is obviously different when you know. Along with a Douglas fir which is as tall as the pine, the bark is very different but assuming one doesn't know the difference, they could all as well just "be the same". Not to state the bleeding obvious.
  21. AJStrees
    well I would say one would have to see the needles and cones to be fully sure but I find Pines the most difficult for differentiation. Can't really tell the colour in the photo, looks dark to me.
  22. AJStrees
    I would say that is a really good point. There should definitely be law and order on this point and probably there is stuff that exists out there to a degree. I am no legal expert. But I agree that there should be no way of removing such a tree without serious consequences for the offender. The woodland trust and other organisations are working to increase this and make things tighter but I think this needs a lot more work to get things like this to cease. I believe in other countries there are much more strict rules on what you can and cannot do with trees. Potentially we could take a lesson from these other countries who do this well. (whoever that might be)
  23. AJStrees
    not to be too pedantic but it looks more like a black pine (Pinus Nigra) than Scots Pine (Pinus Sylvestris). Only saying...
  24. AJStrees
    IDIOTS!!!!
  25. AJStrees
    is it a form of Honey Fungus? Looks like its been there a while?
