Question
domnievam sa že je to formitopsis pinicola, ale nesedí mi drevina na ktorej som ju našiel. Vŕba sa nachádza hneď ti potoku, mala asi 3m a bola už napadnutá druhom Fomes fomentarius.
Answer
Dobrý deň,
pravdepodobne sa jedná o Práchnovček pásikavý. V literatúra sa najčastejšie z listantých drevín popisuje na brezách, bukoch, jelšách a ovocných stromoch (čerešne, jablone a slivky). Nevylučovala by som ho teda ani na vŕbe.
Pekný deň.

Question
I suspect that the damage was caused by beetles in the order Coleoptera, most likely from the families Cerambycidae or Buprestidae. The affected material was found on sessile oak (Quercus petraea), and the tree was already dead.
Answer
Dear Karlo. The gallery belongs to Cerambycidae family and it is most probably the genus Plagionotus. On oaks there develops many Cerambycid species so it is hard to say witch one is it without imago picture. All the best, Juraj.

Question
symptoms detected on the stem (4.5 m high) and low branches of Abies nordmanniana present in a private garden. The tree is approximately 110 years old and has no further symptoms
Answer
I think the canker was caused by rust Melampsorella caryophyllacearum. It makes the infectios rout for wood rot fungi, but sometimes doesnt. Hopefully the rot is not developing. If yes, look for fruiting bodies most often of Phellinus hartigii.
