This is (I think) a recently cut Sycamore. Any ideas what is growing on it?  |

Possibly the beginnings of Wrinkled Crust - Phlebia radiata?
Regards,
Mike. |

If you look at the top surface a groove has been cut and I think that is to hold in the rotting agent that has been poured on.

 It looks like a passing drunk has thrown up over it!

Mal | It could be that, but there were a number of similar trees which had been cut, but had no sign of it. |

This is a common occurance on sycamore stumps, also beeches, and some others. it is due in the most part to the posative pressure in the rising sap during the early part of the season, when felled the rich sap is a highly attractive food source to many fungal beasties and this orange colouration is common and also suspect it is some phlebia, but rarely does it form that classic phlebia apprearence. it is strangley also often followed quickly by felugio septica.
The chemical treatment i can not rember the name of but it is probably one of those that breaks down into nitrates within 14 days but is probably flushed out by the posative pressure in the sap in these instances so would not have much effect on organisms.
