I suppose it is possible that my innoculation failed because the tree was
still on its roots - it may not have known it was dead yet.


You could have played one of those tapes thats suposed to tell you things in
your sleep so it goes into the subconcious. Or sent it a 'sorry your dead'
card.

I do have a suspicion though that the spores you buy may just not be fresh
enough. Mine were from a specialist supplier, but I guess they can't
really control what happens to them in the post: maybe they got stuck next
to a heater or something.



Of course I cannot remember where I saw them, so no way to confirming what I
remember about it saying use on stumps.
