Question
Domnievam sa že ide o hubu - Pečeňovec Dubový
(Plodnica veľmi pevné uchytené na kmeni, veľmi tvrdá)
Answer
Fistulina hepatica je jednoročná plodnica a v januári by bola už zhnitá, alebo sčernetá a hnijúca. Takže skôr ide o Phellinus robustus.

Question
Hello,
could you please help me to identify the little pest that left these galleries?
Thank you very much in Advance.
Best regards,
Antonella
Answer
Hello,even though the galleries are old, I think it is Pityokteines vorontzowi. It is possible to confuse it with the species Pityophthorus pityographus, which has longer maternal tunnels and density larval tunnels.Best regardsJozef Vakula

Question
Vyzerá to na malé plodnice druhu - Trametes hirsuta
-Na zrezanom pni Pinus sylvestris
Answer
Dobrý deń,
ano, podľa foto sa pravdepodobne jedná o Trúdnikovec chlpaty, rastie prevažne na listnatých drevinách,ale môže sa ojedinele vyskytovať aj na ihličnatých drevinách.
Pekný deň.

Question
Hi, in this branch there are two types of traces.
Could you tell me which kind of insects left them?
Thank you very much!
Best regards
Antonella
Answer
Dear Antonella. The gallery with long tunnels looks like from Pityogenes bidentatus (commom on pine) and the third pictures looks like gallery created by Buprestidae family, I guess Anthaxia spp. See these species in our atlas or just Google it. Best regards, Juraj
