    Hey Look at My Crud...

    I haven't seen 3 different fungi growing in the same spot like this before. I believe I see Inonotus dryadeus, Grifola frondosa and... maybe pleurotus ostreatus(?) I'm not sure on that last one, it's the one on the left of that bunch. Maybe @KTSmith knows

    California Tree Failure Liability

    I could be remembering incorrectly (it was several years ago) but the Iowa Arborist Association hosted Victor Murello, an attorney skilled in tree law, give a presentation. He either alluded to or directly stated that an "Act of God" was becoming harder to defend in court due to the availability...

    Staking Trees at time of Planting

    So then this begs the question about planting practices. Do you guys know what "mudding in" is and do you think it's acceptable?
