Question
Answer
Dobrý deň,
aj keď nevidíme detaily, chrobák v strede by mal byť prezimujúci lykožrút smrekový. Larvy nad ním by mohli byť dvojkrídlovce Diptera, tie sa často pod kôrou v požerkoch lykožrútov vyskytujú.

Question
Answer
Dobrý deň,
podľa priloženej fotografie sa jedna o Koznačku hrdzavohnedú - Hymenochaete rubiginosa. Plodnice sú kožovité, smerujúce dole, klobúk je rozložený na spôsob skridlíc s úzkymi pásikmi po obvode, okraj klobúkov je žltkastý. Huba spôsobuje pľuzgierovitú hnilobu dubov a gaštanov. Často sa vyskytuje na spracovanom kmeni gaštana, na pňoch a opadnutých konároch.
S pozdravom.

Question
Živý strom v poraste, znaky poškodenia od územku do výšky zhruba 5 m. Dĺžka prasklín 3-12 cm.
Answer
Jedná sa o staršie poškodenie kmeňa lykožrútom bukovým. Neúspešný nálet lyožrútov na živý buk, požerky boli zaliate miazgou, strom sa ubránil. Následne, počas rastu, vznikajú na poškodenej kôre praskliny.
