That was great, I missed it when it was actually shown, thanks for sharing it here. Dr Lonsdale remains quite brilliant and insightful, a true gentleman.
Absolutely spot on Dr Lonsdale, on point as always! Your commentary matches exactly with my own thoughts on the species you mention which is rather validating to say the least. I waited a long time to get access to this webinar, your commentary on the rayner/Boddy article is also spot on, and this article is used to counter any mycologist talking of pathogenesis/parasitism. I am actually questioning the existence of this wall four, seems like a conglomeration of three walls as opposed to a fourth which appears to have no anatomical presence? with regards to the Meripilus, if we cant cultivate the strain on sterilised media i suggest we have a strain of semi obligate biotrophy. Indeed Stamets found 90% of Grifola frondosa strains wouldn't take on media! I believe the darker areas in your grifola infected oak are colonised and necrotic via Fistulina hepatica, ''off the top of my head'' ;)
