Nothing like that. These mushrooms never have that effect. The Russian name of this mushroom comes from the word stump. Because these mushrooms like to grow on stumps. In Russian, this mushroom is called опёнок. I don't know how it is in Europe, on other continents, but in Russia this mushroom is very appreciated.

I was referring to the fairly common ailment of laminated root rot.

So what was the armalaria thing about.
I thought only conifers were affected by Phellinus weirii?.

Turned up this afternoon to rig out a large Birch tree or speed line.

About a quarter of the way up there was a cavity. Stuck the silky in there and about 10 inches went in. Didn’t fancy rigging it as I was a bit knackered from the three trees that morning. Originally they wanted to straight fell it so I took off some of the back weight and side weight.

Came down and placed it right between two small juvenile fruit trees. Just enough holding wood to hold on the hinge.

This one was in way better shape, that is my female apprentice climbing.

It was pollinating like mad, there was a cloud around the chipper and the brush monkey's shoes turned yellow.

 

[cory]

Fine looking chips you were making there

Nice capture with the top stig.

This morning I started cutting down the next poplars, but suddenly it started snowing, and I had to wind up the ropes(.

To be continued!) I'm lucky that I didn't replace the winter tires with the summer ones!)

 

[friedrich]

i‘m surprised, you don‘t work while it‘s snowing?

 

[Maximalist]

I don't like to take risks!) Especially today, due to winds of up to 17 m/s and temperatures around 0 °C, when snow tends to turn into water. Besides, I haven't been in a hurry for a long time!) A new day will come with more comfortable weather, and there will be work.

We woke up to a bit of snow as well today.

It doesn't look like the end of April at all.

A rather non-standard input of wires into the house. For this option, we probably face a fine and power outages until the malfunction is fixed. By Russian standards, it should be like this -

 

[biggun]

I can almost guarantee.

Compared to Russia, it will be twice as likely to break but cost twice as much to fix.

On a serious note. I have a friend who has been an electrician for 35 years. He moved here about 10 years ago.

He came round to fix a couple of things for us and commented that the system in Norway is possibly the worst he has encountered. Especially compared to UK and Ireland.

In fact only one other country in Europe has such a dangerous system, and that was Albania.

 

[cory]

That is surprising. Where is the scandavian know how and efficiency?

 

[biggun]

I think it a case of the attitude I see a lot of.

They have always done it that way and they know best.

Snow can ruin a chainsaw by displacing the oil in the engine causing it to seize.

 

[cory]

huh?

 

[flushcut]

Snow can ruin a chainsaw by displacing the oil in the engine causing it to seize.

This is news to me. Iv'e run a saw in the snow more times than I can count. Wet heavy snow, cold dry snow, and stupid cold dry snow no issues.

Really?

Never heard that before. I’d better let every logger and arborist in Scandinavia know.! 😜

Same here. I don’t like working much in the snow but I have done it hundreds of times.

I’d like to know where this thought comes from as April fools was a few weeks ago.
