Chris Skinner's Countryside Podcast
Episode 67: Yellow Brain
Chris Skinner and Matthew Gudgin assess the damage after Storm Darragh. They look at the impact of microscopic spores that have attacked the heart wood of a tree.
Chris takes Matthew to Foxes Grove and tells the story and impact of ash dieback at High Ash Farm. He describes what infected trees look like in comparison to healthy trees.
The pair come across an unusual jelly fungus which adds bright colour to this wintery grey season.
Chris and Matthew wind down the window and watch the group of corvids tucking into their worms. One of which is purest white in colour! Whilst in the warmth of the truck they answer listener questions and comments.
