At APF 2022, in collaboration with Keely at Tree Life AC, we are offering information, support and two amazing prizes for the Arboriculture community. Our theme for the show is – 'Supporting arborists in creating a long and satisfying career in trees'. We want to help the aspiring Arborist who is aiming to get off the tools and head into their first technical role - working with trees, but from the ground. We know from many years in the industry talking to arb employers that the PTI is the course that helps consolidate a climbing Arborists’ CV The PTI (Professional Tree Inspector) is a 3-day course which is respected throughout the industry. In combination with a Level 3 in Arboriculture it gets you the leg up to an interview for a technical post - from climber to tree surveyor/tree officer and beyond. Now’s not the time? Not sure whether you’re ready? Or already have a PTI? Never fear – we are also offering a one-day Fungi course – another useful arb qualification. The prizes are being offered by Tree Life in collaboration with us and they are both courses which will support Arborists on their career path and other technical positions. For a chance to WIN either a Professional Tree Inspector course or a Fungi Recognition and Response course All you have to do is: TO ENTER: Either drop us a line at [email protected], follow and message us on Instagram or LinkedIn, or pop along at the show and say hello. That’s all! Once we’ve said hello back and had a short conversation, we’ll pop your name in the pot and you’ll be in with a chance to win. *Small print: The course financial values are £450+vat and £120+vat respectively but it’s the value to a career we’re interested in. There is no cash alternative – the winners will be decided by Tree Life and CTC Recruitment and the judge’s decision is final. We’re doing this to spread the word; start conversations; support Arb careers and the industry and hope you’ll approach the competition in the spirit intended – thanks. Winners will be annonced by the end of September.

Can anyone help with ID of this fungal growth on the base of an ash tree? It's around 50mm in diameter in two locations, and there seems to be some seeping coming from the area. I'm thinking Perreniporia fraxinea but I'm certainly no expert so would appreciate any assistance! Thanks John

Hi found this fungi today on an oak. I’m thinking it’s a ganoderma spp. or oak bracket but not certain any help greatly appreciated !

I sowed an apple tree three years ago, and it has been thriving in a pot since then. We are now planning to transplant it into the garden. However, I've noticed that some of its leaves appear to have a fungal infection, especially at the growing tips where the leaves are starting to die. I'm uncertain whether this is solely due to a fungal infection or if it could be related to issues with the pot or watering. Can someone help me identify the problem?

I have asked everyone all over the internet and I have searched high and low and I have no idea if this even is a fungus anymore, someone please help!!

Seems to be the season for Coriolopsis gallica. This is a tier of brackets on a living Prunus padus street tree in Hackney. It took me a while to get to the ID since I associate Coriolopsis gallica with deadwood and ash. It is also fruiting in nearby Clissold park on a huge ash log. @treeruss

Hi all, I'm wanting to improve my knowledge of tree diseases, particularly the different types of fungi/rot, as I would like to start thinking about doing a bit of surveying in the future. Can anybody recommend any good books on the subject? Thanks,
-
Hi there, Meripilus on red oak ? anyone think different Regards

Hi Guys, I am at collage studying arboriculture and have recently started doing about pest and disease and am wondering if anyone could recommend me an identification book to carry when working and seeing jobs for both fungi and pest and disease. I realise that a definitive book wont be out there as our understanding is constantly changing but is there an identification book out there worth getting for arb purposes? Cheers Conall

Can anyone Id this please?

Hi all, I run a forest education website which will be fully active by next year: Home - ForestExplorers.co.uk - We have a photo gallery which I am in desperate need of filling with pics! All photos will be uploaded to the gallery on the website and also on our mobile app. We are looking for anything suitable for viewers of all ages. Trees, leaves, fungi, carvings, seeds, wildlife - and so on... All photos will appear with your name if you wish so. Please email any pics to: [email protected] A brief description of each photo would be great. Please pass this message onto anyone who you think can help. No photos will be used for financial gain. And if anyone would like to help with the project in any way, please get in touch, Regards Lee

Hi, New to this forum although I've been reading it for a while. I'm a photographer part time and could do with some help identifying a few fungi from last autumn. Rather than paste all the photos here (there are quite a few) I've put them up on temporary pages of my photography website, see links below :- Fungi I've tentatively identified but would like confirmation :- Gary Cook Photography - Photographs of Fungi Tentatively Identified, Photos, Photo, Photograph, Travel stock library Fungi I haven't yet identified :- Gary Cook Photography - Photographs of Fungi Not Identified, Photos, Photo, Photograph, Travel stock library And if you're interested a few that I have identified :- Gary Cook Photography - Photographs of Fungi Identified, Photos, Photo, Photograph, Travel stock library On each page simply click on a thumbnail to see a larger image. Please note however that this is a part of my website that is still under development so the search function and some of the links to the travel photography etc don't yet work. Any help you can give would be appreciated, either by reply to this thread or email (best if you can quote the photo number at the bottom left hand corner of each image). Many thanks, Gary

Hi Guys Pretty sure I know the species but want confirmation from the forum. I'll not put my obvious answer as not to sway the vote. Found at the base of Quercus robur, english / pedunculate oak with tree trunk approx. 22 inch diameter at base height (dbh). Fruited 6-weeks ago and then decomposed to a cheesy mass 1-week ago. Cheers Rich

Looking in my books, I can't find the name of this Mushroom. Here (Kent Surrey borders) I have found two quite separate groups, they smell good and look right but I want to confirm edibility. Definitely not asking anyone to confirm their edibility, just give me the name to look up if you have any ideas. Thanks in advance.
-
Please identify. I’m certain what it is but want confirmation please for insurance purposes.

Hello! Would it at all be possible if people could fill out my dissertation survey which is looking at how private woodland owners and managers are dealing with ash dieback and the main influences regarding management plans for infected Ash. I would really appreciate it! Many thanks https://rau.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/chalara-survey

Hello, Found this fungi at the bottom of a beech tree and was hoping that someone could verify it as Kretzscmaria deusta. It was under ivy so could have been disturbed whilst uncovering. Thanks
-
Any ideas on this one? Probably obvious but haven't been able to identify it. Found 5m up an oak stem, lots of snap-outs and fractured limbs
-
Hi, I'm very new to this forum. Any help on assessing what's wrong with this beech (fagus sylvatica atropunicea) would be greatly appreciated. The first four images: Graft area or repair wood? Or both?
-
Found this on Larch. It's recent as the tree was inspected a few weeks ago. Tree leans and its on the holding root side, doh! Any thoughts please? I was wondering if Griffola frondosa but possibly not frondy enough?
