We take coloured objects so for granted nowadays.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373240096673970831.post-13329077091923953402012-11-17T23:53:26.410+01:002012-11-17T23:53:26.410+01:00No Susan...

I just don't have that knowledge... but Jean-Pierre said, I think, that the one I found was the most common... they may well be one of each!<br />With the one found and photographed here, it was inside a split log that was stacked "re-assembled" so to speak... these pictures were taken about 15 minutes after discovery... and I'd closed the two chunks back together in the interim... so they are about as fresh as you can get... They are also flash pictures, so the lighting will be somewhat artificial, as well... and that will cause a colour difference between this one and the one out in the open on the forest floor.<br />That forest floor specimen, when I sawed it open, had been here for over two weeks... and was well dried out! That also will cause a colour difference... the sawn specimen is much closer to the Tunbridge Ware colour.<br />Also, the forest specimen was at the end of its food supply.... hence the mushrooms.<br />Also, my microscopes are still in their boxes in a box in the longére... which, coincedentally I happened to have to move the other day.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373240096673970831.post-29795992542033452362012-11-17T22:41:30.144+01:002012-11-17T22:41:30.144+01:00Most informative as usual, and your pics are bette...Most informative as usual, and your pics are better than mine taking in the dim light of the forest. I didn't know that about using the stained wood for inlay -- I have often seen coloured woods used, but assumed it was some sort of vegetable dye. <br /><br />Have you conclusively ID'd this one to species level? Jean-Pierre said there are 2 species, which are indistinguishable in the field and require expert microscopic examination to know which species you are looking at.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373240096673970831.post-57187557515962770812012-11-17T13:56:28.303+01:002012-11-17T13:56:28.303+01:00We are off to Le Louroux to have a walk round the ...We are off to Le Louroux to have a walk round the étang... the LPO have a walk arranged but we didn't book!!<br />We'll go and do our "own thang"!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373240096673970831.post-77804669227641884602012-11-17T12:24:45.094+01:002012-11-17T12:24:45.094+01:00What a fascinating post, Tim.

We've seen many a honey fungus but we were not aware that it caused patterning within the wood. <br /><br />The Green Wood Cups are incredible; or should that be in(cr)edible??<br /><br />We have made plans for this afternoon otherwise a foray around the Etangs de Narbonne would have been a most attractive proposition.Colin and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15990185210945021818noreply@blogger.com
