some picture taken yesterday of this fungus emerging.

Innonotus hispidus On Ash Trees

Have removed trees and sections of trees when this bracket has been spotted.  The level of deterioration varies greatly.  These particular trees do not have any significant signs of die back but the effects of this bracket cannot be underestimated. 

Lime Tree - Tilia Ruskin Park

This tree fell during the high winds we have been experiencing over the last few days.  The pictures show the real cause to be decay, the trunk completely hollow and still under attack from wood boring insects and masses of one particular fungal bracket.

The only one I know, it has a good shape and is filling out the space well over an internal path of the park.  The white leaves on the ground which help identify this tree.
