here is 2 tree questions.
You say "fighting deadwood" Very loose terms and not lucid. I never
heard of such a thing.
Please explain what you are saying.

Define "dead" =
Define "wood" =
See, wood is not static so it may be hard to define like humic acids.
Its constantly going through ecological stages.

Don Where is your section on your web page as far as how you define a
forester?

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

Peanuts please

I know all about Brownfingers back yard near the chippy, I've found many a battered brown trout in there in a hell of a state!!!!

What the chuff is a consulting Arborist, someone who stands and stares at trees with their chopping tool in their hand looking rather flushed and excited?????????????????????
Someone needs to get a PROPER JOB like kebab sales or uphill gardener!!!!

u stand there watching tress u chuffing plonker how many friends have u actually got

Until you dig mycorrhizae you should really reframe from such claims.
Scientific research. get a shovel and go look!!!! They are there!!!!!

I will say it again. A tree root is NOT mycorrhizae. They are two
separate things, brought together via capillary water as a route and
in a symbiotic expedition perform a valuable function to any plant
which is susceptible to this formation. IT does not exist on it's
own.

As for digging; I don't know how old you are, but I've been digging
in the dirt since I have been a child. I worked as a grower
professionally for some years at both huge commercial, two million
sq/ft under glass, to as small as five thousand sq/ft under glass. I
think I have an understanding of this fungi, not a single fungus, as
you call it.


Great, please show me some of your pictures of mycorrhizae you have dug.
You sound confused? A fungus infects a non-woody root of a tree and a
mycorrhiza forms. This is an infection many trees rely on to bring in
phosphates. They are common in, on and near large woody material as it
decomposes. It is a organ which is a composite structure made up of both
root tissue and fungus tissue. You may be speaking of something else.
There are organs under water under ice in New Hampshire. They may be called
Oomycorrhizae. Is that what you mean? Do you have a web site with your
pictures?

We aren't the boss? Who is? Are you saying someone up in the sky
makes the earth quake, water flood, fires, storms and volcanic
eruptions? That explains a lot I guess.

be found at http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/~schuessler/amphylo/. Note
that none of the species is called "mycorrhizae".

If there's no fungus then there are no mycorrhizae. If there is no
tree there are no mycorrhize. It's when you have _both_ that
mycorrizae occur.



So then grass, marigolds, grapevines, not being trees, don't have
mycorrhiza?

Annuals have bacteria. Perennials like fungi. Annuals like a higher pH
than perennials.

Not from my understanding. I just found this list of plants which form
endomycorrhizae. Please do not quote me on the accuracy of the list. Just
an example.
Acacia, Agapanthus, Ailanthus, Alder, Alfalfa, Almond, Apple, Apricot,
Artichoke, Ash, Asparagus, Avocado, Bamboo, Banana, Basil, Bayberry, Bean,
Begonia, Black Locust, Blackberry, Box Elder, Boxwood, Buckeye, Bulbs (all),
Burning Bush, Cacao, Cactus, Camellia, Carrot, Cassava, Catalpa, Ceanothus,
Celery, Cherry, Chokeberry, Chrysanthemum, Citrus (all), Clover, Coconut,
Coffee, Coral Tree, Corn, Cotton, Cottonwood, Crabapple, Cryptomeria,
Cucumber, Currant, Cypress, Dogwood, Eggplant, Elm, Euonymus, Fern, Fescue,
Fig, Forsythia, Fountain Grass, Fuschia, Gardenia, Garlic, Geranium, Ginko,
Grapes (all), Grass, Gum, Hackberry, Hawthorne, Hibiscus, Holly,
Hophornbeam, Hornbeam, Horsechestnut, Impatiens, Jojoba, Juniper, Kiwi,
Leek, Lettuce, Lily, Locust, London, Magnolia, Mahogany, Mahonia, Mango,
Maples (all), Marigold, Melons (all), Mesquite, Millet, Mimosa, Morning
Glory, Mulberry, Monkeypod, Nasturtium, Okra, Olive, Onion, Pacific Yew,

Grass, Sugar Cane, Sumac, Sunflower, Sweet Gum, Sweet Potato, Sycamore, Tea,
Tobacco, Tomato, Tree-of-heaven, Tupelo, Walnut, Wheat, Yam, Yellow Poplar,
Yucca.

Better said, without the plant root tissues, or without the fungus tissues
you cannot have a mycorrhiza. Again the word mycorrhiza is Greek. "mycor"
meaning fungi. "rhiza" meaning root. It is a composite organ made up of
plant root tissues and fungi tissues. Is it root or fungus? The answer is
yes. People don't like that kind of question.

The same site had a list of plants that do not respond to endo or ecto.
They had pine and oak on the list. Anytime I dug pine or oak roots I found
ectomycorrhizae. So please do not quote that list.

For F**ks sake will you shut up with all this ectomycorrhizae SHIT and go and find a decent job, you big gibbon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PS. The only earthquake I ever feel is in me bowels after 12 pints and a dirty horse vindaloo!!
