Captain Zero!
I like to think of things like this MINI loader as an investment in quality of life for the future.
Nice buy Chris.

Today was a very strong wind. Nevertheless, I managed to cut down a few trees.
Mick!

you just love to make a mess Andrey!
Fascinating.
A fungi body actually used by prehistoric man, as tinder, to start fires, or beaten into a fabric to make clothing! Wow!

Much more interesting than Ganoderma!
Though perhaps not as harmful to healthy trees?
More of a scavenger of the weak, damaged and stressed out?

Thanks for the link...good info. An excerpt:
"Russian literature Nobel Prize laureate Alexandr Solzhenitsyn wrote two pages on the medicinal use and value of chaga in his autobiographical novel, based on his experiences in a hospital in Tashkent, Cancer Ward (1968 ) "
You tree guys always amaze me with your breadth of knowledge.

They call such fungus a "monkey's seat" over here. I see the same or similar on different species trees, not just Birch. Not uncommon on a type of Oak, If different, the cancer connection is known with it as well. Probably if it really works as a treatment, it has been synthesized, like with Yew wood bark.
I'm no expert jomo but from what i have seen i think your right
heres a heavily reduced horse chestnut i felled not so long ago with fomes

Very nice Maximalist
Is your cleanup crew on strike Max?
I've only had to work in the snow a few times here in the mountains after storms, no cleanup, just get the trees off the lines and move on. I found it brutal each time. Even with chains on my tooltruck, and 4x4 Honda Fourtrax to haul stuff with, it was still brutal enough for me to realize how tough the arborists who work in the snow daily for months really are.
Good stuff mate.
Thanks for postin.

Andrey, looks like you do great work. What's the reason for all the removals of the live trees there in the city?
