Retain fallen deadwood

Species measure 1 description

This fungus requires fallen deadwood, in particular dead oak branches or trunks, to remain where fallen rather than management to cut and pile the deadwood. This will ensure that the moisture from the ground is retained to support this species. Land near to the trees should not be disturbed and if piles of deadwood are required these should be stored away from trunks.
