Hi all
I wonder if anyone can help, my father in law has a really cracking
tree at the bottom of his garden.
Besides not knowing what it is (help again) it has acquired a fungus
type growth on it, the trunk looks ok.
I have put some pictures on my website at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whytony/

just go to the site, join the group, and look in the pictures folder,
click on them to enlarge, any help would be much appreciated
t
i have uploaded them to flickr, hope they are clear enough

I would guess it's some kind of Abies, i.e. silver fir, but there are
many with quite similar foliage. I don't know about the fungus though.
Is it supposed to show up on the photos?
