Review (by Malcolm Storey) | Hericium abietis confirmed from ?imported timber in Kent. Piptoporus quercinus on ancient worked wood in Yorkshire. More on Ash Dieback, including the first recorded fruiting of Hymenoscyphus pseudalbidus in the UK. Sweet Chestnut Blight (Cryphonectria parasitica) has now been found on imported saplings at two sites in Britain, although all affected trees have been destroyed. However the saplings were growing for four years before the disease was detected. Lentinellus herbarum is apparently not so rare as previously suggested. |
