I would like to show the photos at a later date and report back on the result. Thankyou for your interest in this puzzling subject of which I have limited knowledge . Steve. The symptoms you describe are very common indications of fungal infestation. As I implied, whether the colour is the mycelium or due to chemicals released by the mycelium reacting with the wood, or something even more complex, is beyond my knowledge. If the Forestry Commision are investigating, they will know that, and will be interested in finding out WHICH fungus (or whatever). Note that the symptoms of infection by fungi, slime moulds and bacteria can be indistinguishable, though the organisms are much less closely related than we are to flatworms. So it would not amaze me to discover that it was not fungal, but bacterial. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
